Las Vegas F1 Grand Prix 2023 results: Official times and gaps as Leclerc DENIED victory

Max Verstappen took victory at the Las Vegas Grand Prix as Red Bull secured their first-ever one-two result in the world championship drivers' standings.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc had started the race on pole but he was controversially passed by Verstappen at the first turn, an incident which saw the Dutchman handed a five-second time penalty.

He then overcame a collision with George Russell, which saw the Brit also hit with a five-second penalty.

Lewis Hamilton could only finish P7 while Lando Norris was taken to hospital as a precaution after a nasty accident on lap four. Alpine will be thrilled to have secured more important points through Esteban Ocon in fifth.

Sergio Perez had led the race at times but will still have been mightily relieved to secure P3 in the race and second in the championship - after rumours had suggested this was required to keep his seat for next season.
