Saturday night in Las Vegas was a spectacle to remember, and George Russell made sure his name shone brightest. Starting from pole position, the Mercedes ace delivered a flawless performance, storming to victory under the glitz and glamour of the Vegas Strip. It wasn’t just Russell making headlines for the Silver Arrows—Lewis Hamilton put on a masterclass of his own. Starting from a lowly P10, the seven-time champion showcased his veteran prowess, carving through the pack to secure a stellar second-place finish.
The dynamic duo’s efforts underscored Mercedes' undeniable dominance under the neon lights. Meanwhile, Ferrari had a night of mixed emotions. Carlos Sainz claimed a solid third place, while teammate Charles Leclerc, visibly frustrated, crossed the line in fourth after a tense internal battle.
But the night belonged to Max Verstappen for a different reason. Despite finishing fifth for Red Bull-Honda, the Dutchman clinched the 2024 FIA F1 World Drivers' Championship in style. Outperforming both McLarens, Verstappen proved why he’s a generational talent, adding yet another milestone to his growing legacy.
It was a race packed with drama, brilliance, and historical significance—a fitting chapter in a season that continues to deliver.
