George Russell won the Formula 1 race Saturday night in the Las Vegas Grand Prix and his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton was second. This is the first time since the 2022 race in Brazil that Mercedes went 1-2. That was the same order with Russell and then Hamilton.

This night, however, wasn’t just about Russell. Lewis Hamilton finished second to give Mercedes the top two positions. “It’s good to come back with a 1-2, and I’m happy with the way we got there because we dominated the race,” Wolff said. “There are laps when we were two seconds faster and it feels good.”
Of Hamilton’s F1-record 105 victories, his first with Mercedes occurred nearly 10 years ago to the day. Wolff said he was impressed how Hamilton fought his way through the field for such a strong finish. But next year, Hamilton will be on another team, and Wolff will be searching for ways to keep him off the podium.
