Charles Leclerc evitó sanciones punitivas.

      En los últimos minutos de la segunda sesión de entrenamientos libres del Gran Premio de Las Vegas, Charles Leclerc se detuvo fuera de la pista debido a problemas con la caja de cambios.

      Tras la sesión se supo que los comisarios estaban investigando las acciones del piloto de Ferrari, ya que presuntamente infringió el párrafo 26.5 del Reglamento Deportivo, que establece que al abandonar el coche el piloto debe volver a colocar el volante en su sitio y apagar el ERS.

      Tras hablar con el piloto y examinar todas las circunstancias del incidente, los comisarios concluyeron que Charles Leclerc no había cometido infracciones y no le impusieron sanciones.

      En la decisión publicada los comisarios explicaron cómo se desarrollaron los hechos después de que Leclerc se detuviera fuera de la pista: «El piloto explicó que antes de abandonar el coche intentó poner el punto muerto, pero no pudo. Después apagó el motor y salió del habitáculo.

      Los comisarios de pista intentaron poner el punto muerto, pero no pudieron. A continuación el piloto intentó ayudarles, arrancando de nuevo el motor e intentando poner el punto muerto, sin embargo los comisarios de pista consideraron que el coche estaba en una situación insegura y le pidieron que no lo hiciera.

      Al final, convenció a los comisarios de pista de que el coche estaba en un estado seguro y apagó el motor».

Charles Leclerc topped the times in the first practice in Las Vegas and set the 3rd-best time in the second session, but Lewis Hamilton, his teammate at Ferrari, also said he was happy with the car, although he finished the day 10th. Charles Leclerc (3rd): "To be honest, I think we are in a pretty good position, although we shouldn't rush to conclusions and need to see how things develop. The Mercedes drivers look very strong, and McLaren and Red Bull are also contenders for the top spots, so the fight promises to be intense. I just hope we can build on what we achieved today and try to fight for pole on Saturday. But I consider Friday's outcome quite positive, because we are capable of a good pace. In preparing for qualifying we need to try to anticipate what the track conditions will be like tomorrow so we can start the day correctly, but I have a fairly clear idea of the direction we need to work on the car to try to achieve further improvements." Lewis Hamilton (10th): "Overall the impressions after the session are fairly normal, though they were already pretty good after the first practice, even though I didn't manage to do a quick lap, and the same happened in the second practice. For the second practice we were able to improve the setup, and I was especially good in the first sector, but unfortunately the session was interrupted several times by yellow and red flags. However, everyone was on an equal footing, and I was able to gather enough information, so I'm feeling ready to fight tomorrow. Of course it was very slippery at the start of the first session, but the track surface improved quickly — we'll see what it's like tomorrow. It's certainly very cold here, but there are lots of fans in the stands, although it wouldn't have hurt them to bring some hand warmers. All in all it's not bad, I'm happy with the car and I don't think we'll need to make any major setup changes in the build-up to tomorrow."
