Lewis Hamilton will start the Las Vegas Grand Prix from the very back of the grid after a chaotic qualifying session in which a dislodged bollard became the unlikely culprit in his worst-ever performance on pure pace.

Q1 unfolded in treacherous wet conditions, with drivers skidding off-line and yellow flags constant.

As the field scrambled to set banker laps, Hamilton appeared poised to escape the drop zone, until replays revealed a bollard lodged itself under his Ferrari on his final attempt, costing him crucial time and leaving him stranded in P20.
