Q2 IS GO
The rain has finally abated and a different-coloured racing line is beginning to appear on track. We wouldn't go so far as to describe that line as "dry".

Squeaky final moments for Lando Norris as he crossed the line after the chequered flag and was unable to do a lap, then became a spectator as others were on a final flier. But he got through in P13.

"Couldn't get the tyres to work" says Hamilton as he aborts that final lap. He is P20 and out!
Albon also eliminated – his front-right corner needs repairing anyway – as are Antonelli, Bortoleto and Tsunoda.

The rain is easing off a bit and the track is gripping up as those full wets displace the surface water, so the times are tumbling. Nervous moments for those at the lower end of the timesheets.

AND WE'RE OFF
A rare sighting of the blue-walled full wet Pirellis out in the wild. But only on the Aston Martins so far.
Everybody else leaving the pitlane on intermediates.
Lando Norris instructs his pitwall to "Keep an eye on the Astons, especially the onboards" because he thinks they may need the wets.
In which case this would be a highly unusual session, because in most circumstances if it's wet enough for wets, a red flag is imminent.

"DRAIN-GATE" UPDATE
You may recall that FP2 was red-flagged twice. Firstly because a loose drain cover was suspected. And then secondly when "suspected" was upgraded to "empirically observed, thank you very much". This was fixed overnight.
According to the FIA: "The manhole that prompted the red flag in FP2 was disassembled and further inspected. A specific fault was found with the closure mechanism, and it was possible address this issue overnight. In addition to the work conducted to address the issue identified, the cover of this manhole has been welded to provide further mitigation. All other manhole covers on or close to the racing line were reinspected overnight, and additional welding was applied to a further 14 manhole assemblies."

WET SETUPS AT THE READY
And the rain continues to fall in Las Vegas. Of course, unlike practice, there's no option to stay in the garage and sit it out. The drivers are just going to have to knuckle down and get on with it.
This has the potential to be quite a long session on a circuit which Oliver Bearman described as "gnarly". It'll be all the more so in the wet.

In case you missed it, McLaren had a troubled final practice session in which it lost telemetry and had to pull both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri back to the garage. That meant neither of them managed to set a representative push lap on soft tyres at the end of FP3 so they slumped to the bottom of the timesheets.

WELCOME TO QUALIFYING
It's time for the bewitching hour. And what a tantalising quali session we have in prospect in Las Vegas, where it's currently raining again. Who will prevail? Who will get their just deserts?
