Esteban Ocon sustained damage to his car during the opening minutes
of the first practice session for the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The
Alpine driver ventured out for four laps before he was forced to
pit, after hitting a drain cover during his final lap. A team
spokesperson confirmed: “We will change the chassis on Car #31 due
to damage from a suspected drain cover on track.” The incident
happened moments before Carlos Sainz stopped out on track, having
also ran over a drain cover which killed his engine. The FIA
subsequently abandoned the session as they completed an inspection
of the circuit.
