Team Statement - Franco to race in Las Vegas

Following Franco’s incident in Qualifying yesterday, he has undergone a thorough follow-up evaluation from the event medical team today and has been cleared to race in this evening’s Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Franco’s health is our main priority, and we are relieved that he is well enough to race following such a significant incident. We thank the medical staff for prioritising Franco’s health and wellbeing and for the excellent care he received.

We are extremely thankful to our incredible garage team for their hard work overnight to repair Franco’s car and our fans and partners for their continued support.

We have taken the opportunity to make some set-up changes during the repair and, as a result, Franco will start the race from the pitlane.

We are looking forward to going racing under the lights tonight.
