The predicted cold nighttime temperatures might make this interesting.

Have no idea who will be good here.

It is McLaren's first real efficiency test after their trick wing was taken away. Could be bad for them

I'm 99% confident they will use Monza rear wing they didn't use. Vegas is 20s longer lap than Monza and you can lose a full second on straights with wings too big during the race. Their (well, everyone's) Spa wing is a parachute on those straights. They seem to have even more rear floor downforce with Mexico floor, so I think they will be right up there

Did anything come out of those rumors about McLaren messing with their tires?

Heard it may come up again this weekend, but multiple teams in the paddock still believe that some teams (including McLaren) were doing this

The FIA checked the tyres in Brazil and nothing suspicious was observed. Obviously you would not expect anything strange because the teams knew the tyres were going to be checked beforehand. I think we will never know for sure, but we may suspect something based off of how teams perform in warm dry races.

FIA and Pirelli have been checking tyres since Mexico, nothing has been found.

Has Las Vegas fixed the placing of the manhole covers? So there isn't a repeat of FP1 from last year.

Anyone caught doing this now would look particularly silly in all reality. This is the effect wanted, by those bringing it to the attention of FIA and press channels.
