LAS VEGAS — Charles Leclerc continued his blistering pace around the Strip Circuit to claim pole for Sunday’s inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix. “First in Las Vegas, obviously it’s an incredible event, and to be starting from pole tomorrow is great. “Starting second tomorrow will be interesting, the lead up to turn one isn’t too bad but we definitely need a good start. The race will be all about keeping the tires alive, there will be a lot of graining. It was a session in which he felt he couldn’t exert anymore speed out of his race car. “That wasn’t a great qualifying session, but it is what it is,” Hamilton said following his run. I think tire management, how you bring the tires in and how you progress in addition to where you push and don’t push will be key tomorrow,” Hamilton continued.
