The Las Vegas Grand Prix of Formula 1 started chaotically, with an incident in the first turn that immediately changed the race lead. Lando Norris (McLaren), who had secured pole position, lost control and went off the track, ceding the lead to his main rival, Max Verstappen (Red Bull). According to the Argentine News Agency, the start was clean for the British driver, but upon reaching the first corner of the street circuit, his car went wide, allowing the Dutch Verstappen to take the lead of the competition. Norris's error is crucial in the championship fight, as the British driver was on a winning streak, and the off-track cost him key points from the start of the race. Argentine driver Franco Colapinto (Alpine) is on track, seeking to advance from his 15th starting position amidst the initial turmoil.
