McLaren driver Lando Norris crashed out of the Las Vegas Grand Prix and forced Sky Sports F1’s camera to shake in a nightmare start to race for the Brit. He quickly confirmed over the team radio that he was “OK” before team principal Zak Brown assured viewers of Norris’ status on the broadcast.
The McLaren car had a big snap of oversteer through Turn 11 and Norris hit the wall hard well before Turn 12, nearly going into his team-mate Oscar Piastri but they managed to avoid colliding.
On commentary, Martin Brundle described the incident: “Lando lost the back end of the car very early doors. The car nearly took out his team-mate.
“It started way up the track when the car just snapped sideways. A total passenger in that. All he has done is driven into the corner and started to apply the brakes.”
