What is the Las Vegas weather forecast?

The track action in Las Vegas takes place at night, so conditions in the Nevada desert will be cool. Temperatures for qualifying and the grand prix, which both start at 20:00 local time, will be about 12C, with light winds and a small risk of rain.

Can Norris win the championship in Vegas?

The short answer is no.

If Norris wins in Vegas and Piastri fails to score, the gap between the two drivers would be 49 points with 58 still to play for.

If the above scenario did happen, though, the earliest Norris could secure the title is at the following race in Qatar, which hosts the final sprint event of the campaign.

Norris would need to outscore Piastri by two points in the 100km sprint to be crowned champion.
