  <h2>Norris' Night to Forget: Wall Bang, Escape Road Drama</h2>
</header>

<section>
  <p>LAS VEGAS — <em>Oh, what a night for Lando Norris! The McLaren driver appeared to have a script ready for the Las Vegas Grand Prix practice, but it was more thriller than triumph.</em></p>

  <blockquote><q>He also hit the wall early in the session, although he escaped without damaging the car.</q> <cite>"Williams' Carlos Sainz" ("</cite></blockquote>

  <p>Was it Lady Luck's charm or just another off day? Norris found himself in an unexpected escapade at Turn 14, <strong>twice</strong>, ending up in the escape road. The Briton's morning took another turn for the worse when he <strong>clipped the wall</strong> early on.</p>

  <h3>Piastri's Slip: Championships Heating Up</h3>

  <p>Meanwhile, Oscar Piastri, 24 points behind Norris, had his <strong>moment off-track</strong> around the Sphere. The Australian ended up <strong>0.192secs</strong> behind Norris, continuing their recent performance trend.</p>

  <p>Norris has gained <strong>58 points</strong> on Piastri in the past six races, putting himself within reach of the championship. But with ferry wheels yet to come off, it's anyone's guess who'll take the crown.</p>
