00:00Formula One returns this weekend, with McLaren's Lando Norris hoping to keep his slim Drivers
00:08World Championship hopes alive by scoring at least three more points than Red Bull's
00:13Max Verstappen. Norris admitted that he was probably not ready for a title fight with
00:18the Dutchman, but that he is now, even if it is too late to mount a serious comeback.
00:25With the World Championship heading to Las Vegas, adapting to the city's high-paced
00:29street circuit will be key to taking maximum points. At the end of the first day of practice,
00:34it was Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton who topped the timing sheets, with Norris sat
00:38just behind him in second place. Verstappen, meanwhile, was weighed down in 17th, and Red
00:43Bull struggled for pace over one lap, although the current World Champion did not run on
00:48the soft tyre compound, which provide the quickest lap times. All the glitz and glamour
00:52that Las Vegas has to offer will be on display over the course of the weekend.
