LAS VEGAS — A dramatic Las Vegas Grand Prix transformed the Formula One title fight after McLaren duo Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were both disqualified after the race over a technical regulations breach, significantly boosting race winner Max Verstappen’s chances of winning a fifth world title.

For the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix at the Las Vegas Strip Street Circuit, McClure is high on Norris, who is seeking his first season championship since joining F1 in 2019. Last year, he finished second overall with 374 points. In 149 F1 races, Norris has notched 11 wins and been on the podium a whopping 43 times. He has earned 15 pole positions.

Lewis Hamilton expressed disappointment after finishing eighth in the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Despite moving up from the back of the pack to fifth during the race, he found little comfort in the result.

Just three years into the Las Vegas Grand Prix, it's consistently building and tweaking its race traditions, with the cool-down car from the past two years upgraded in 2025 to a pink LEGO Cadillac piloted by actor and former NFL player Terry Crews.

Las Vegas is hosting a hotly anticipated F1 Grand Prix, in the hopes of jumpstarting a slow tourist season. British rising star Lando Norris, who races for McLaren, speaks with NBC News’ Chloe Melas about his career and the upcoming Vegas race.
