The track was absolutely drenched when the lights went green. F1 teams scrambled to adapt, deploying full-wet tires in both Q1 and Q2\u2014a rarity for Vegas. The conditions stayed treacherous throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Norris nailed it when it mattered. He posted a monster lap on his final attempt in Q3, clocking <b>1:47.934<\/b>. Verstappen threw everything at it but fell short by <b>0.323 seconds<\/b>. According to <b>Formula 1<\/b>, the McLaren star &#8220;snatched pole position with a daring final flying lap in a treacherous wet qualifying session.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Third spot went to <b>Williams<\/b>&#8216; <b>Carlos Sainz<\/b> at <b>1:48.296<\/b>. <b>George Russell<\/b> rounded out the top four.

Getting ahead matters massively on this tight street circuit. Plus, Norris showed serious wet-weather prowess. This is exactly what he needed heading into the season finale stretch.<\/p>\n<p>Verstappen&#8217;s P2 keeps him within striking distance at <b>341 points<\/b>. But being <b>49 points<\/b> down with two races to go leaves little margin for error.
