Moments

2023 · First practice

The loose water valve cover

Eight minutes into the first session, a loose water valve cover wrecked Carlos Sainz's Ferrari and practice was stopped for track repairs.

2024 · Race night

A title sealed on the Strip

George Russell won from pole. Fifth place was enough for Max Verstappen to clinch his fourth world championship.

2025 · After the flag

Disqualified hours later

Both McLarens were disqualified for excessive plank wear, which moved George Russell up to second. It is why this guide marks results as provisional at first.
