Round 22 of the current F1 championship takes place in Las Vegas, with the Strip Circuit hosting its second round following its debut last year.
Max Verstappen enters the weekend with the first shot of wrapping up the drivers' championship as he holds a 62-point lead over Lando Norris in the standings.
The opening practice session takes place at 18:30 local time on Thursday, marking an early start for European viewers.
F1 will be hoping the session will run more smoothly than last year's edition as FP1 was reduced to less than 10 minutes due to a loose drain cover.
Who will start the weekend off in the strongest fashion?
