The Las Vegas GP is one of Lewis Hamilton‘s final three races with Mercedes. The seven-time world champion hopes to end his journey with Brackley on a high note. However, the Briton could only manage tenth place in Qualifying. Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff pointed out Hamilton’s target for Sunday’s race after the session.
Wolff claimed that the seven-time world champion had the pace to be on the front row. Hamilton’s teammate George Russell claimed pole position in ‘Sin City.’ Though, Toto Wolff asserted that the 39-year-old has one of the quicker cars in the middle of the pecking order.
It would’ve been a front row. But having said that, where he starts, the car looks to be quick
Toto Wolff said post-Qualifying
The Austrian billionaire reckoned that Lewis Hamilton will find it easy to overtake a few cars at the start of the race. The Mercedes team boss indicated that the 39-year-old could even be in contention for race victory. However, a podium was a more realistic target for the Briton.
There’s a few he should be able to overtake right away and hopefully can play for a win tomorrow. If the car is not graining too much I think Lewis can make it all the way back into a podium position.

Toto Wolff eyes Mercedes ‘clean sweep’ at Las Vegas GP
Wolff was hopeful that the Silver Arrows can have a good race on Sunday. The Austrian wants George Russell and Lewis Hamilton to do a ‘clean sweep’ and take victory. Toto Wolff highlighted that Mercedes seems to have one of the fastest cars this weekend, as was in the case in all sessions so far.
The most important session is tomorrow, hopefully we can have a clean sweep. The weekend has gone very good so far, the car is quick and we delivered on all of those sessions.
