Last year Haas F1 scored points at the Las Vegas Grand Prix — Nico Hülkenberg finished eighth. In 2025 the American team completed the car's upgrades later than their rivals, hoping it would give them an advantage in the final stage of the season, and it seems that tactic has paid off. At least Oliver Bearman was 9th in Austin, 4th in Mexico City and 6th in São Paulo. Esteban Ocon hasn't been doing quite as well, but he also picked up a couple of points for ninth in Mexico City. He has good memories of Las Vegas — in 2023, when the race was held for the first time, Ocon, then racing for Alpine, finished fourth. Esteban Ocon: "After we introduced the final upgrades in Austin, the car started to perform much more effectively, so the team can contend for solid results and score points. And, of course, I'm eager to see what we can achieve in the remaining races. "I really enjoy the Las Vegas weekend, and I have good memories of this Grand Prix, as two years ago I finished fourth here. There is an opportunity to shine on this circuit. A lot can happen at the start, especially into the first corner. "It's very difficult to get the tyres up to the right temperatures here, and if you manage that you can gain a noticeable advantage. Also, we don't know whether it will rain, and if it does at some point, that will become a very important factor. "What I mean is there are many factors that can influence the result, but I'm keen to find out as soon as possible what our car is capable of on this track, and whether we'll be able to reach the level of performance we showed in previous races."
El año pasado Haas F1 sumó puntos en el Gran Premio de Las Vegas: Nico Hülkenberg entonces terminó octavo. En 2025 el equipo estadounidense completó la modernización del monoplaza más tarde que sus rivales con la esperanza de que eso le diera ventaja en la fase final de la temporada, y parece que esa táctica resultó bastante acertada.
Al menos Oliver Bearman fue 9.º en Austin, 4.º en México y terminó 6.º en San Pablo. Las cosas de Esteban Ocon no van tan bien, pero él también consiguió un par de puntos por el 9.º puesto en México. Tiene buenos recuerdos de Las Vegas, ya que en 2023, cuando esta carrera se celebró por primera vez, Ocon, entonces pilotando para Alpine, terminó cuarto.
Esteban Ocon: «Después de que en Austin implementamos las últimas novedades, el coche funcionó mucho mejor, por lo que el equipo puede aspirar a buenos resultados y a sumar puntos. Y, por supuesto, estoy deseando saber qué podremos lograr en las carreras que quedan.
Sin duda, el fin de semana en Las Vegas me gusta de verdad, y tengo buenos recuerdos de este Gran Premio, ya que hace dos años quedé cuarto aquí. En este circuito hay oportunidad de destacar. Además, puede pasar mucho en la salida, en la primera curva.
Aquí es muy difícil calentar los neumáticos hasta las temperaturas adecuadas, y si lo consigues puedes obtener una ventaja notable. Además, no sabemos si lloverá, y si en algún momento empieza, eso también será un factor muy importante.
Quiero decir que hay muchos factores que pueden influir en el resultado, pero tengo ganas de comprobar cuanto antes de qué es capaz nuestro monoplaza en este trazado y si lograremos alcanzar el nivel de resultados al que fuimos capaces en las carreras anteriores».
