Thursday night's Las Vegas Grand Prix practice was red flagged for potential loose road furniture for the second time in three years.

A marshal spotted a possible loose manhole cover with around 20 minutes left in the session and notified race officials, who red flagged the session to avoid a repeat of 2023 – when Carlos Sainz's Ferrari was destroyed by a loose cover.

The session was halted just as most teams were beginning their qualifying simulation runs, with a number of drivers on fast laps when the red flag was thrown – with a late restart prompting a scramble for track position.

That late scramble went poorly for Charles Leclerc, who pulled off the track into a run-off area with an apparent gearbox issue on his warmup lap.

The late scramble then went poorly for everyone on track, when the red flag flew once again before anybody was able to set a time, leaving teams going into Friday night's session without a clear sense of their pace.

Lando Norris finished top of the timing sheets ahead of Kimi Antonelli and Leclerc, but it would be a mistake to read anything meaningful into those standings, as very few drivers set a true single push lap.

In the words of Sky Sports' David Croft: "This has been a very, very frustrating last 15 or 20 minutes of the session."
