F1 star set for RETURN at Las Vegas Grand Prix

A Formula 1 star is set to return to the grid at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, despite having been replaced by his team.

The sport returns to Las Vegas this weekend for some high-octane action on the strip, with Max Verstappen looking to clinch his fourth straight title.

Magnussen back after Brazil bug

There also remains much to play for at the other end of the grid, with teams jostling for position as they look to finish the season on a positive note.

Following Alpine's incredible double-podium result in Brazil last time out, the French outfit powered up to sixth place in the standings, a position which - should they retain it - will guarantee a significant financial reward.

One of the team's vying for that position is Haas, who will welcome Kevin Magnussen back to the lineup following the Dane's recovery from the sickness bug which ruled him out in Interlagos.

It means Oliver Bearman - who will replace the veteran racer on the grid next season - will be back on the sidelines after filling in for his team-mate at the previous race.

Magnussen's future in F1 looks uncertain, with the former McLaren driver left without a seat heading into 2025.

Back behind the wheel this week 👊
