We are going to Las Vegas. Flag & Clock will be behind the scenes and in the Paddock Club for the Grand Prix on 21 November, and a special report follows the race.

Mercedes outscored Ferrari 22 to six at Interlagos and took the constructors' title, with the FIA's table at 652 to 510 and three rounds left. Lando Norris won by 14.602 seconds, and Max Verstappen came from 21st on the grid to second.

Marco Bezzecchi won at Lusail by 3.083 seconds, a day after Marc Marquez took the Sprint. Marquez finished second and leaves with 60 points on Jorge Martin and 74 on Bezzecchi, and a Sprint win at Portimao would make him champion. At Monza the No. 38 Cadillac won by 5.607 seconds, and Toyota's No. 8 crew took the world title on a single point from the day, 115 to 97 in the final table.
