F1 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix weather - latest today from Nevada

Formula 1 heads to Nevada this weekend for the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix, returning to Clark County to kick off the final three races of the year.

The championship battle has been all but won by Max Verstappen, after he stormed to victory at the Brazilian GP, crushing the hopes of title rival Lando Norris.

While Norris may have lost sight of the title, his team will also be hoping that their drivers can secure maximum points, McLaren now within touching distance of their first championship as a team since 1998.

After winning two of the three past races, Ferrari have crept up behind McLaren, just 36 points behind, but still ahead of reigning champions Red Bull.

Despite Verstappen holding the potential to be crowned 2024 champion in Vegas, his team-mate Sergio Perez has consistently underperformed this season, leaving them down in third in the team standings.

The show-stopping night race at the Vegas strip returns for a second year, but how will the weather play out for the grand prix on Sunday?
