FP2 faces THIRD delay at Las Vegas Grand Prix after official FIA confirmation
FP2 has been delayed for the third time, with the second practice session now due to start at 2:30am local time (10:30am GMT) in Las Vegas following the delays caused by a red flag in FP1.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix got off to a nightmare start after track safety concerns saw a red flag bring an abrupt end to FP1 with just eight minutes of running in the opening session.
FP2 has since been pushed back to allow time for necessary works to be completed, with F1 hopeful of now resuming the action at 2:30am local time (10:30am GMT).

To make up for the lost time in FP1, a decision has also been made to extend the session from 60 minutes, to 90 minutes, with track time crucial for teams at a brand new event.
FP3, meanwhile, will not be impacted by the change in timings.
What time will FP2 start for the Las Vegas Grand Prix?
As things stand, we are set for a 10:30am GMT start with a 90 minute session to make up for lost time.
It was the worst possible start for Sainz as his car came to a halt inside the first 10 minutes of the opening practice session.
Heading into the final sector, the Spaniard appeared to bottom out against something on track, now known to be a water valve cover, causing his engine to cut out.
The stationary Ferrari therefore brought out an initial yellow flag, before a red soon followed to bring the first bit of action on the Strip to a shuddering halt.
Ferrari team principal, Fred Vasseur, has confirmed that Sainz will not be able to participate in FP2 following the damage his SF-23 sustained.
