Lando Norris admitted he is "not looking forward" to returning to Las Vegas, claiming it was McLaren's worst race of the 2025 season.

Norris currently tops the Drivers' Championship standings on 390 points, 24 ahead of team-mate Oscar Piastri, and 49 ahead of reigning champion Max Verstappen.

With only three races left, the onus is on Norris to add to his seven wins if he wants to claim the world title for the first time.

However, McLaren have notably struggled at the Las Vegas Grand Prix in the last two years, with the Briton finishing sixth, and Piastri in seventh at the circuit last year.

With the race taking place in the evening, under the lights, in cooler temperatures, McLaren have struggled to get the best out of their car, and Norris believes the conditions could once again cause them trouble.

Asked whether they would help or hinder McLaren this year, Norris replied: "Hinder, for sure. I think it was our worst race last year. So, I'm not really looking forward to it.

"We've been trying to work quite hard on improving those things. We know Mercedes were incredibly strong there last year, as well as Red Bull and Ferraris. I think we were the bottom of those four.

"So yeah, we'll wait and see. Obviously, we've improved a lot of things this year, so I'm not going to be too negative about it.

"I think there's plenty to look forward to. We know Abu Dhabi and Qatar are ones we are looking forward to.

"Las Vegas just a little bit less, because they've been probably some of our weakest races over the last two years. So let's wait and see."
