Ferrari's Leclerc takes pole position for Las Vegas Grand Prix

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc will start from pole position in Saturday's Las Vegas Grand Prix after posting the fastest time in Friday qualifying.

Leclerc finished ahead of team-mate Carlos Sainz but with the Spaniard having a ten-place grid penalty imposed after Thursday's practice, world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull will start second.

Mercedes' George Russell will be in third place on the grid alongside Alpine's French driver Pierre Gasly.

It was a positive session for Williams who will have Alex Albon starting fifth on the grid alongside team-mate Logan Sargeant, the American who is hoping a strong result on a home circuit will boost his chance of keeping his place for next season.
