Race Highlights | 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix

it is Showtime our Saturday night fight is five lights away and Formula 1 goes racing on the streets of Las Vegas with charl Clair cussing across Max staffen who was on the dirty side the top two go off the road do they open the door for George Russell massive spin in the middle of the pack as well Max for steppen takes the lead in the opening 200 M of the Grand Prix but he was deep into the first turn as he did so cars absolutely everywhere Russell is in third gazy is in fourth Kevin Magnuson has improved a couple of positions as we have the yellow flag out in sector one signs is at the back botas and Alonzo were involved in that as well decent enough getaway initially from Charles lir but he glances in the mirror realizes he has to go defensive and he's at the mercy of the line that Max Hicks this needs to be addressed now he wasn't in front at the Apex and he pushed me wide so he needs to give that position back he's just wrong place wrong time does get tagged in the back as well so they're fighting for space but no idea of grip levels at this stage and that is why he needed the nose change so let's see what happens to Carlos you're going through all that oil dry all he tags Lewis yeah he just went in too deep the stewards are looking at lap one turn one it's under investigation as a result and you oh who's gone off the road in the background there Lando Norris I think it's the McLaren and Lando Norris goes off the road at turn 12 and that is a strange one now let's see if hamon can go around the outside would be a great move if he manages it and he does so up to 11th place though soft tires not working on the alpha Towery Max Fen is given the 5-second penalty for forcing another driver off the track Sergio Perez who loves a street circuit five of his six grand prix victories have come at temporary facilities that is opportunistic that is brilliant from estan KN on who hard charges his way by as the racing continues down the strip into turn 14 and is getting very very very tight no matter where you look on track Oscar piastri has got up to seventh position and then we go dri eye view pastri trying to fight by this is Lewis Hamilton trying to charge past Logan Sergeant as well and he does so max aaen with his mirrors full 1.2 miles flat to the floor in the wheel tracks he's been called to the pits sh Clair doesn't know that he's going to try and pull the move now the Scarlet Ferrari to the inside sh Clair takes the lead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix it's game on at the front of the field like we haven't seen for so long in Formula 1 and the crowd adoring that moment diving down the inside of the Australian driver piai trying to hang on to it that enough to punch of the tire Sparks out the back of as's car that does sound like Hamilton yeah he's lifting he is really in a bad way here with this puncture Perez on that hard Tire attacking now with DRS and Perez taking the position away then oh is he going to try it on the inside here into turn 12 oh oh it's going to be contact and it is contact Max staffen into the side of George Russell he was committed and in turn 12 the two of them come together and so that is a massive benefit for the man who's put one of his best stints together of the entire season and Sergio Perez gets a 2.4 second stop and is suddenly a contender yeah absolutely he almost took his front Jackman with him he was saw electric away from that pit stop penalty for Russell for causing a collision is the verdict of the stewards and we're back to racing speeds around formula 1's newest venue that is providing so much by way of entertainment and Pierre gazley worried Sergio Perez into a defensive shape that's Fernando Alonzo to the inside of Logan sergeant and he's making 11th place with that move but the rear of the car very nearly getting away from him when he applied the power another move around the outside we've got the H trying to go past Daniel Ricardo and that is a sweet pass once again for Nico hulkenberg late late late on the braks and later still for Oscar pastri who makes the corner who makes the place and takes third DRS is open again this is the best run so far for Sergio Perez Sergio Perez to the Apex first Sergio Perez to the lead of the Grand Prix having started an 11th he had the Run he had the DRS and the fans in the grand stand love another pass because we've got a third race leader tonight these two are side by side but not for much longer the two teammates battling it out and estan oon deep into turn one gazley sweeps on by great racing between these two nervy moments on the pit wall for Alpine these two have history this season back in Australia where they collided after a great run okay we want to hold position for the moment please hold position for the moment estan Aron going all in in Vegas and taking fifth place so he is pushing hard on those tires and Charles lir going to the inside I was going to say if he's going to take a risk there's a chance I think Perez might have been caught by surprise another change of lead in Las Vegas are we about to resume the battle between lir and ven the three race leaders in your picture at the moment but is it a change of position between the two ripples as we go over the bumps and it's Max ven who takes second place in the race there's a real opportunity now for Max V stappen and charlot clir knows it driving on the mirrors now checking the left one checking the right one trying to keep the world champion behind we go down the strip we're going to to get another change of lead Max V stappen takes the place back but look at how Brave on The Brak sh was but he couldn't close the door V stappen takes the lead back once again this race completely changed by the full safety car there's a big opportunity now for George Russell who appears in your picture ahead of the Williams nothing Alex alurn could do and that is a good pass as we move our way through there was very nearly another one M Clair we're desperately love to make that pass can he sit there for the remaining laps and that's a wide moment for the Williams driver and a disappointment for Alex Alan who sees first Russell then signs then Alonzo overtake him and he drops out of the points we're understandably focusing on the battle for second place at the moment but gazley has George Russell right behind him off the road go Shir a turn 12 he's been brave on the breaks but on this occasion just a bit wide on turn in wheel tohe action here this is so quick through 17 that is unbelievably Brave we've been waiting to see two drivers go wheel tohe through there this is the last real corner on the racetrack it's flat to the floor by the time that you get out of 14 15 and 16 sh Clair's going forward to the inside as he got the car loow down what a move sh Clair absolutely brilliant at the last real chance that he had to make the pass jeo tries to fight back what a performance from the top three maxus Sten puts his name up in light once again and it's very close to the line but it's sh Clair who takes second place with a bold and Brilliant move at the last real opportunity on the last lap it's 18 Grand Prix victories for the season for maxen who wins the Las Vegas Grand Prix it's one of those days where I'm being told to wrap up and I just don't want to a Delirious Grand Prix of thrilling excitement with we'll see you for the season finale when Formula 1 returns
