F1: Session Report
2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix - Friday Pole for George on Friday in Las Vegas
- George Russell took pole position while Lewis Hamilton qualified P10 for Saturday's Las Vegas Grand Prix.
- The team's strong form from Thursday continued in FP3 with George topping the times.
- That translated into Qualifying as George led the way in Q1 before Lewis went fastest in Q2.
- In Q3, George set provisional pole on his initial lap before improving on his final attempt, a 1:32.312s putting him 0.098s clear of Carlos Sainz.
- That secured George's fourth pole position in F1 and Mercedes' 140th in the sport.
- Lewis suffered from two snaps of oversteer on his efforts in Q3; unable to set a representative time he will line up P10 for tomorrow's 50 lap race.

George Russell
It feels incredible to be back on pole position. We've been so quick all weekend, but I knew that, coming into Q3, it was going to be that last lap that counted and nothing that had happened before mattered. On my first effort, I had a little bit of a moment out of turn five and clipped the wall. The mechanics did a great job to switch the front-wing quickly before our final run, but there was a brief moment where I thought we wouldn't get back around and make the flag. I felt confident in myself though and knew that if I put together a clean lap that pole was possible and that was what we were able to deliver. Ultimately though we've had a few good qualifying sessions recently and we need to convert them into good results. It will be a long race tomorrow, and there will be plenty of unknowns, but I am hopeful that we can fight for victory. I'm excited for the Grand Prix; it'll be a great atmosphere on Saturday night racing down the Strip in Las Vegas. I'll have a good night's sleep this evening and come back raring to go tomorrow.
Lewis Hamilton The car was feeling great today, and it has been a good weekend up to the final segment of Qualifying. I was quickest in Q2 but unfortunately, I had two bad laps in Q3 and that left us P10. The conditions were still good, but I didn't get the job done. It's really disappointing as we definitely had the pace for pole position today. Congratulations to George who did a great job to take P1. It will be difficult starting from where we are in P10, but I will try and get up to the podium tomorrow. I will be giving it my best to do so. Toto
Wolff, Team Principal & CEO The car has been really strong all weekend. We seem to be able to extract good performance in these cold temperatures, as we saw at Silverstone and Spa earlier in the season, and that has helped us today. Taking pole position is great but it is also a little bittersweet with Lewis in P10. We definitely had the speed to be on the front row with both cars, but I am sure he will bounce back tomorrow. It is difficult to say how the race will go tomorrow. We saw on Thursday that graining is a risk; nobody has had a proper look at the Hard tire either, so there are going to be plenty of unknowns. Hopefully our single lap speed translates into race pace, and we have a competitive Grand Prix and fight for victory. Let's see what we can do.
Andrew Shovlin, Trackside Engineering Director We've had a fast car all weekend and there was a real possibility of us locking out the front-row. It was a tricky session and George did a great job to take pole position. Lewis had shown fantastic speed throughout and was unlucky to have issues on both his laps in Q3. Unfortunately, that left him P10 for tomorrow.
The car has been working really well on a single lap; that has been the case from the first laps of FP1 all the way through to the final lap of Q3. However, it's a lot difficult to read where we will be on long run pace. The graining caused by the cool temperature is dominating the degradation and because some pushed early in their runs in FP2, while others managed their tires, it's hard to know where everything will fall out tomorrow. We will have to be live to how the race is going and react well if we want to fight for victory.

#Israel - The historic ICC arrest warrant marks the beginning of the end for Netanyahu: Marwan Bishara
21 November 2024
The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.
It's also issued warrants for Hamas commander Mohammed Deif. Israel says he was killed in an airstrike in July. But that has not been confirmed. Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, says it is time for the US government to penalise the ICC for its warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant. The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said that the decision to issue these warrants was “not political”, and that the court’s decision should be “respected and implemented”. Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, Marwan Bishara, has praised the ICC’s decision to issue long-awaited arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders.
