Thanks for sticking with me through that thoroughly enjoyable race.

Read Jonathan McEvoy's race report from the Vegas strip below...

Max Verstappen: It was a tough one. I tried to go for it at the start but we ended up a bit wide. The stewards gave me a penalty for that so I had to pass a few cars and there was a lot going on.

It was a lot of fun there. Like I said, with the DRS that helped a lot as well as the low degradation.

Charles Leclerc: What a race, honestly I enjoyed it so much.

At the start it was so tricky but then we had the pace, we passed him back and we were really strong overall. We got a bit unlucky with a safety car and we went for track position and keeping first place but it was tricky with tyres at the end.

But honestly, I enjoyed it.

The weekend didn't start the way it had to start but I'm so glad it ended that way. The sport needed it.

Sergio Perez: 'It started really difficult with some damage. Progressively we were picking one by one. We had really strong pace in that first stint to put ourselves back into contention.

I overtook Charles but I couldn't pull away from him. Max came, he passed us both, and it was quite difficult out there with the gusts of wind. In the end with Charles, I wasn't expecting him. Well done to him and to Max.

It was good for racing [this circuit]. It's like Baku, it makes life a bit harder for you so I think it did deliver.

Wow, drama on the final few corners as Charles Leclerc steals second place from Sergio Perez!

Wow.

Lap 49/50: The AlphaTauri driver was already fown in 17th when he complained of a gearbox issue.

He's now had to send off down an escape road with his race over.

Lap 46/50: Not long left in Sin City now. Charles Leclerc is still fighting to try and get second but Max Verstappen, as he has so often this season, looks to be cruising to a race win.

George Russell is running P6 but he still has a five-second penalty which is going to sting.
