Las Vegas presents deja vu. As in the very first race here in the gaming metropolis, this time there were problems with a manhole cover, which meant that two red flags were used and the drivers couldn’t drive enough. Nevertheless, Norris, the current world championship leader, was the fastest. This is certainly nothing new. Max Verstappen only in ninth place. But so far it doesn’t apply yet. Pleasing for Nico Hülkenberg. Fourth place And there are really good top speeds, for example on the 1.9 kilometer long straight up to 370 kilometers per hour. So it will definitely be a speed festival. But of course one thing is a prerequisite. Manhole cover must be tight, otherwise there will be no traffic here. But I think those responsible will definitely get this under control.
