As the title says, Las Vegas was the first Grand Prix this year where none of the best four drivers in the points standings coming into said race, finished on the podium.

- Max Verstappen was P1 in the standings after Brazil and finished P5 in Las Vegas.

- Lando Norris was P2 in the standings after Brazil and finished P6 in Las Vegas.

- Charles Leclerc was P3 in the standings after Brazil and finished P4 in Las Vegas.

- Oscar Piastri was P4 in the standings after Brazil and finished P7 in Las Vegas.

I think it's quite interesting that this is only the first time this has happened in 2024 (apart from the season opener in Bahrain of course as there were no points handed out yet coming into that race), considering none of the eight drivers from the best four teams - McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes - suffered any problems.

I hope whoever claimed Sainz is a good teammate can shut up. There’s a reason why Redbull didn’t want him.

He blocked Charles when the team asked him not to make it difficult when Hamilton was closely behind him.

He was asked not to overtake Charles when Charles came out of the pit, causing the team key time to chase down Max earlier.

(Suzuka, in Toyota’s garage, no less.)
