Norris runs fastest before practice suspended due to a manhole cover
Coventry Telegraph
|November 22, 2025
LANDO Norris led the way in Las Vegas in a second practice session suspended for 19 minutes due to a loose manhole cover.
Norris, who holds a 24-point championship lead heading into the concluding three rounds of the season, saw off Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli by 0.029 seconds on the Strip. Max Verstappen, 49 points back in the title race, finished ninth with Norris' McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri only 14th.
However, the second running of the night was red-flagged twice amid reports of a dislodged drain cover at the 17th and final corner.
The stoppages drew flashbacks to the first event staged here two years ago when a manhole cover broke free and tore into Carlos Sainz's Ferrari at 200mph.
The one-hour session here on Thursday was initially stopped at 8.38pm local time, which was early morning UK time on Friday.
