Ferrari aiming to win the Las Vegas GP

Scuderia Ferrari expected to have an impressive pace this weekend courtesy of the Vegas track layout. However, things got off to a rocky start as Carlos Sainz incurred heavy damage due to an exposed manhole cover. Moreover, the Spanish driver was forced to take a 10-place grid drop for changing components.

However, the two Ferraris managed to deliver in Qualifying. Leclerc clinched pole position after a stellar drive in Q3 with Sainz locking out the front row. Although, the Spaniard would be taking the 10-place hit on race day. Nevertheless, Charles Leclerc remains confident in his prospects against the 2023 champion Max Verstappen. Certainly, a win would be appreciated by guests in the Ferrari garage including Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Italian team would be aiming to bag its second win of the season at the Las Vegas GP. Such a victory would come at the right time as the sport heads into the winter break shortly. Subsequently, a win for Leclerc or Sainz would boost the morale back at Maranello. Although, it remains to be seen if Ferrari can take the top step of the podium in Sin City.
