LAS VEGAS (Reuters) -Charles Leclerc led Ferrari team mate Carlos Sainz in a practice one-two on Friday to cap an extraordinary first night at the Las Vegas Grand Prix with the delayed track action ending at 4 a.m and in front of empty grandstands after earlier drama.

Sainz's performance was all the more impressive considering the Spaniard's car had been wrecked by a loose drain cover that forced the cancellation of first practice after just eight minutes' action.
