Max Verstappen has the chance to seal the drivers' title in Las Vegas, while McLaren are seeking to stay ahead in the constructors' battle; watch Sunday's race at 6am (build-up from 4.30am) live on Sky Sports F1 and Sky Sports Main Event

See if Max Verstappen can join the illustrious ranks of four-time Formula 1 world champions when he has his first chance to close out 2024's drivers' title in Sunday morning's Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Verstappen will start the race in a title-winning position of fifth ahead of sixth-placed Lando Norris - the Red Bull driver clinches the title if he finishes ahead of his McLaren rival in any position - with Mercedes' George Russell on pole after a brilliant Qualifying performance.
After its long-awaited return to the Formula 1 calendar last year, the Las Vegas Grand Prix has returned to kickstart the 2024 season's closing triple-header of races.
Following a pause for breath after the previous triple-header that ended with Verstappen taking a stunning win in Brazil to move to the brink of a fourth successive drivers' title, the spectacular sight of F1 cars speeding down The Strip has returned this weekend.
Despite Norris' hopes of chasing down Verstappen having taken a huge blow at Interlagos, the Briton will no doubt be looking to ensure the title battle continues, which he can ensure by outscoring Verstappen by at least three points on Sunday.
Norris has plenty of motivation, with his McLaren team remaining ahead in a fierce battle with Ferrari and Red Bull for the Constructors' Championship.
While the Las Vegas Grand Prix schedule is different to the usual Formula 1 format - with the race taking place on Saturday night in Sin City - the time difference means that for fans in the United Kingdom 'lights out' is at 6am on Sunday morning.
With the event organisers having promised an even more eye-catching experience than in 2023, the bright lights of Vegas are not to be missed - with every session live on Sky Sports F1.
