Lance Stroll is the latest F1 driver to criticise the Las Vegas Grand Prix, saying he’s “not trying to be a Hollywood star”.
There are mixed opinions about the return to Las Vegas. Max Verstappen, the reigning F1 world champion, has been highly critical of the event, especially the pre-weekend ceremony. However, Lewis Hamilton disagrees with Verstappen’s view. Lance Stroll, on the other hand, stated that he is not a fan of the ceremony but understands the benefits of having a race in Las Vegas. Stroll believes that Formula 1 should focus on expanding the American market and attracting more sponsorship, but he also hopes that the sport won’t lose its essence and become too focused on glamorous events. Stroll had his best result since Australia in the previous race, finishing fifth at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
