In any case, I was lucky once at Superbru and put Leclerc on pole position, it will be interesting to see if he can do the same in the race, Max will certainly try to win the first race in Las Vegas.
That was inspired, really. I did rather poorly, 11.5 points when MoSala's got 16, so I'll feel like it's a hard line to see now with one final race to go. Superbru is annoyingly slow to update so I don't know if Vegas cost me my 6th spot... really not fun to wait haha.
Track seems to be similar like Monza, where Ferrari has been very strong as well. Long straights and a few chicanes seem to be profitable for Ferrari and also cold temperatures, where Ferrari can heat up tires very quickly. It remains to be seen how Ferrari will do in tire degradation, of course. Sain was quick as well and probably he can even get on podium, should he be able to get past the cars in front of him quickly.
Biggest negative surprise was McLaren. Both cars were stuck in Q1 and I'm not sure if McLaren is really competitive here in the race because qualifying was awful.
As you predicted, Norris bombed, struggling McLaren only caught the final points spot -- didn't watch so don't know how Piastri actually managed fastest lap and end up so badly...
If my podium came true in Las Vegas Grand Prix it would have really been helpful for me to rise quite much.
Because Leclerc was really advantageous against him until some point. But the latest SC changed things in favour of Red Bull team. Once Verstappen found a good racing tempo it was over already.
