For a third race in a row, it's Lando Norris who will start from pole position at the Las Vegas Grand Prix as he looks to cement his 2025 Formula 1 championship lead.

He will share the front row with Max Verstappen, one of Norris's two remaining F1 title rivals - with the other, Oscar Piastri, lining up fifth in the second McLaren.

Carlos Sainz was a standout third for Williams ahead of George Russell. Mercedes avoided penalty for failing to send its set-up sheets before its cars headed out for qualifying - as it transpired [they had been sent](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/mercedes-las-vegas-gp-f1-2025-qualifying-dsq-risk-rules-breach/), and that IT security issue meant they had not been received on time.

Lewis Hamilton qualified slowest and will start 19th for Ferrari.

Red Bull's Yuki Tsunoda will start from the pitlane after engine changes.
