Well done, Carlos!

PIT and CARLOS and JAMES
PIT: That's P7. P7. First car of the midfield. Ten seconds ahead of Hadjar. So, best car of the midfield. That was a solid race. Just the cars around us were just a touch quicker. Solid race, mate. Solid race.
CARLOS: Yeah, agree. I think that was the maximum today, guys. So, good job. Good job.
JAMES Yeah, Carlos, agreed. That's the best that was in it. Thank you for doing that. Brilliant drive. P7. Four points. More than VCARB. Let's give some more next week.
CARLOS: Where did Alex finish?
PIT: Alex retired. He had contact. A bent front wing.

The gap at the moment is 5.3s...
About 1 hour ago
PIT to CARLOS
On the last lap for Antonelli - 1:34.4. He's now back at 5.1 seconds ahead of us, just outside of the 5 seconds penalty.
His race is to keep ahead and stay 5 seconds ahead of us, pushing hard, and that's with LEC behind him.

About 1 hour ago
LAP 32/50
Everyone has pitted now, and Carlos is P7 behind LEC.

Back to green flag racing.
Carlos is 1.8s away from NOR, while HAD is 0.8s away in P5.

Race
Welcome to the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the newest addition to the Formula 1 calendar after its 2023 debut, set against the iconic backdrop of the Las Vegas Strip.
The Las Vegas Strip Circuit brings the spectacle of F1 racing to one of the world’s most famous entertainment destinations, somehow rivalling Monaco's glamour and excitement, but in a very Vegas way.
Designed to showcase the city’s landmarks, the 6 km tour of Sin City delivered thrilling racing under the neon lights last year to make it an instant hit.
Circuit Overview:
Las Vegas Strip Circuit's 17 turns and 6.201 km (3.853 miles) distance is a high-speed challenge featuring long straights and tight corners that navigate through and around the city’s iconic Strip.
The first and third sectors see a handful of corners simply interrupting the flat-out racing that succeeds and precedes them, and the DRS runs into Turn 5 and especially Turn 14 serve as the circuit's prime overtaking spots
Sector 2, by comparison, is the technical part of the track that circumnavigates the unmissable Sphere, before spitting the drivers out onto Las Vegas Boulevard, AKA The Strip.
