Worth Watching Score

5.9

Under the lights in Las Vegas, Mercedes owned the night, with George Russell controlling the race from the front and Lewis Hamilton backing him up for a no-nonsense 1-2, while Carlos Sainz rounded out the podium. There were 111 overtakes, but most were DRS-assisted moves in the midfield rather than a genuine fight at the front. Two DNFs added some momentary intrigue without reshaping the leaders. Worth watching mainly for the rarity of a dominant Mercedes sweep and Russell’s composed win; otherwise, the highlights will do.
