F1 stars in DEVASTATING retirement from Las Vegas Grand Prix

A pair of drivers have retired from the Las Vegas Grand Prix in the early stages, ending their weekends early.

Pierre Gasly was the first to drop out of the race, devastating the Frenchman after he qualified a stunning third on Friday night.

Meanwhile, Alex Albon was running in P10 and a crucial points position for Williams, but a suspected power unit issue forced him to back into the pits.

The Williams star has failed to finish a grand prix since Austin, and he bemoaned yet another retirement over team radio.

The Las Vegas GP followed a nightmare outing in Brazil for Williams, where the team endured three crashes over the weekend, and Albon did not even start the race.

However, their situation did not improve in Las Vegas where Albon made a Q1 exit, and Franco Colapinto was involved in a terrifying crash in Q2.

The Argentine's car suffered extensive damage, with Williams once again presented with a mammoth task to repair the car in time for the grand prix. Colapinto was cleared to race, but was forced to start in the pitlane and could only finish well out of the points.
