Russell Secures Thrilling Pole at Las Vegas Grand Prix

George Russell will lead the grid at the Las Vegas Grand Prix after an exhilarating qualifying session, where he narrowly outpaced Ferrari's Carlos Sainz by just 0.1 seconds. This achievement marks Russell's fourth career pole and his third this season. Despite a risky moment hitting the Turn 5 wall, Russell's strategic decision to be the last car out in Q3 proved advantageous.

Completing the top positions were Pierre Gasly in third for Alpine (surprise!) and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc in fourth. Max Verstappen, aiming to clinch the championship this weekend, qualified fifth, while his nearest championship rival Lando Norris qualified behind him in sixth. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton faced challenges, finishing in tenth after encountering errors during his laps. As the drivers prepare for the race, Russell's pole position sets the stage for an exciting showdown on the Las Vegas circuit.
