Charles Leclerc will be keen to boost his ambitions of finishing in the top two in the Formula One World Drivers' Championship by winning the
Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Most recent race
The Ferrari driver failed to secure a podium spot at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix on 3 November, the most recent race in the 2024 Formula One World Championship season.
Leclerc started on the sixth grid and went on to finish fifth, while also finishing in third place in the sprint event which saw him accumulate 16 points in total from the race.
Formula One title ambitions
The 27-year-old remains third on the World Drivers' Championship standings having accumulated 307 points.
Leclerc is now 86 points behind leader, Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing and 24 points behind second-placed Lando Norris of McLaren.
Why Leclerc could win the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix
The Monégasque superstar will be returning to the Las Vegas Strip Circuit where he came close to being crowned 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix champion.
Leclerc finished second behind race winner Verstappen and the former will be determined to go one step further, and win this weekend's event.
What did he say?
"It was a very long and tricky race and the drivers on the podium today are those who did not put a foot wrong, so they really deserve it. I have mixed feelings about our race," Leclerc said after the 2024 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
"On the one hand, it was a bit disappointing because we struggled to keep the car on track in these conditions, especially towards the end of the race, due to the way that we decided to set up our car for today.
"On the other hand, we finished ahead of both McLarens, which was a positive surprise and helps in our battle in the Constructors’ championship. We are heading home now to recharge for the final triple-header of this season where we will give it our all to try and secure the team championship title."
