Lando Norris set the pace in a disrupted second practice session at the 2025 F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. 

The F1 world championship leader was 0.029s faster than Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli as McLaren returned to form following a difficult opening practice session in Sin City. 

Charles Leclerc, who topped FP1, was third-quickest and 0.161s off the pace in his Ferrari, which broke down in the closing minutes of second practice.

FP2 ended up being curtailed by two late flags which disrupted running, with both red flags for suspected loose drain covers.

Nico Hulkenberg put his Sauber a surprise fourth, ahead of the Racing Bulls of Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson. 

George Russell's fastest lap was ruined by the first red flag, which left the Mercedes driver seventh, ahead of Alex Albon's Williams. 

Multiple world champions Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton rounded out the top-10 for Red Bull and Ferrari respectively. 

Oscar Piastri, Norris's main title rival, was only 14th after failing to get a representative lap time in on the soft tyres.

Leclerc tops FP1 in Vegas

Leclerc was fastest in the opening practice session. 

Leclerc enjoyed a strong first session, setting the pace for Ferrari in FP1. It's a circuit which has suited Ferrari since Vegas' first race on the F1 calendar in 2023.

Leclerc claimed pole in 2023, but couldn't convert it into a victory. Ferrari secured third and fourth in 2024, finishing behind both Mercedes drivers.

Albon was Leclerc's nearest challenger in second, just over a tenth off the pace, while Yuki Tsunoda enjoyed one of his best sessions as a Red Bull driver, going quicker than Verstappen.

Carlos Sainz made it two Williams drivers in the top five, ahead of F1 championship leader Norris. Hadjar, Russell and Antonelli rounded out the top 10.
