Las Vegas Grand Prix session stopped after huge crash as medical car deployed

Pierre Gasly was in a bubbly mood after securing his best qualifying result of the season. The Frenchman will start from third on the grid in Las Vegas.

“It’s unbelievable,” he said. “We didn’t think we would achieve a top three in qualifying. But it was an incredible lap, especially around this track you are flirting with the walls everywhere through the lap.

“A lot of adrenaline and excitement. I knew crossing the line it was a good lap.

“When they came up on the radio we were third, it’s just amazing. Really happy.

“The car felt great. It’s an incredible period for the team after the double podium in Brazil. Hopefully, we can stay up there tomorrow.”
