Norris' Recent Success
Lando Norris has been on a roll, leading many laps in recent races. But the Las Vegas Grand Prix might be his toughest challenge yet.
The Tyre Dilemma
The track is known for causing tyre issues, something Norris has struggled with in the past.
"I'm not a fan of front graining, it makes the car hard to control."
Norris has been working on improving this weakness, but Vegas' cold and low-grip conditions make it a big challenge.
McLaren's Struggle
McLaren has also been working on this issue. They've made some progress, but Vegas is different.
- Tyres wear out quickly here.
- The rain hasn't helped, washing away the rubber build-up that usually helps with grip.
Pirelli's Warning
Pirelli, the tyre supplier, has warned drivers to be careful.
- Need to get the tyres to the right temperature quickly.
- Could damage them early on.
- Might force teams to change their strategies, maybe even stopping twice during the race.
The Championship Race
Norris has been leading the championship, but Vegas might not be as easy as the last two races.
- If he can handle the tyre issues, he could be on his way to winning the title.
- If he can't, it could be a tough race for him.
