A dramatic and constantly evolving Q2 session at the Las Vegas Grand Prix ended with Nico Hulkenberg, Lance Stroll, Esteban Ocon, Ollie Bearman, and Franco Colapinto<\/strong> eliminated, setting the grid places from P11 to P15.<\/p>\n

Q2 Eliminated Drivers (11\u201315):<\/strong><\/h3>\n

11. Nico Hulkenberg (Sauber)<\/strong>
12. Lance Stroll (Aston Martin)<\/strong>
13. Esteban Ocon (Haas)<\/strong>
14. Ollie Bearman (Haas)<\/strong>
15. Franco Colapinto (Alpine)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier in the session, Lando Norris<\/strong> briefly held the fastest lap with a 1:51.379<\/strong>, but conditions continued to improve, and the times rapidly tumbled as the track dried.<\/p>\n

Lance Stroll\u2019s bold call to switch to intermediates ultimately proved costly as grip levels were not sufficient, leaving him outside the top ten.<\/p>\n

As the final minutes approached, George Russell<\/strong> delivered a blistering lap to top Q2, while several frontrunners shuffled positions behind him.<\/p>\n

Final Q2 Standings (Top 10 advancing to Q3):<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. George Russell<\/strong>
2. Isack Hadjar<\/strong>
3. Carlos Sainz<\/strong>
4. Lando Norris<\/strong>
5. Max Verstappen<\/strong>
6. Liam Lawson<\/strong>
7. Pierre Gasly<\/strong>
8. Fernando Alonso<\/strong>
9. Charles Leclerc<\/strong>
10. Oscar Piastri<\/strong><\/p>\n

These ten will now fight for pole position in the final Q3 shootout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
