Lewis Hamilton recovered from his nightmare race weekend in Brazil to complete an impressive practice double at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Having said he wanted to quit Mercedes in the aftermath of his disappointing 10th-placed finish in Interlagos a fortnight ago, Hamilton first saw off team-mate George Russell by 0.396 seconds in the opening running on the Strip, and then McLaren's Lando Norris by 0.011 sec later in the day, to head both sessions.
