Autosport Podcast: F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix review

Max Verstappen notched up yet another Formula 1 victory in Las Vegas, beating Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to claim a record 20th win in a season for Red Bull.

Charles Leclerc, Scuderia Ferrari, 2nd position, Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing, 1st position, Sergio Perez, Red Bull Racing, 3rd position, on the podium

There were multiple leaders and battles throughout the field, with incidents and penalties ultimately deciding the podium order.

The world champion endured a penalty for clashing with Leclerc on the first lap and had to drive around damage picked up in another incident with Mercedes driver George Russell, but still went on to take his 18th win of the season.

Team-mate Sergio Perez was embroiled in a last lap tussle with Leclerc for second, the Ferrari man snatching second in a surprise dive at Turn 14.

Esteban Ocon and Lance Stroll completed the top five for Alpine and Aston Martin respectively.

Martyn Lee is joined by Filip Cleeren in Las Vegas, plus Jake Boxall-Legge and Sam Hall.
