It was a momentous Saturday evening on The Strip for not only did Max Verstappen clinch his fourth FIA F1 World Drivers' Championship but also Mercedes scored a convincing one-two finish, maximising the sweet spot of their Pirelli tyres in the cold of the Nevada night.  Ferrari finished third and fourth - a classy Carlos Sainz ahead of an irritated Charles Leclerc - and Max Verstappen drove cleanly and with polish to finish fifth, ahead of the two McLaren-Mercedes drivers.  McLaren never found a Mercedes-like feel for the Pirellis; and, in addition, Oscar Piastri contrived to misjudge his grid slot and thus to earn a five-sec penalty.Peter Windsor looks back at all three days, beginning with a very "green" track on Thursday evening (local time). With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets:https://jetcraft.comTo OEM Exclusive, the passionate suppliers of OEM upgrades for exotic and high-performance vehiclesAnd to TrackNinja, a lap-timer and data app designed to help users improve their on-track car and driver performance through analysis and an innovative Data Garage.
