Max Verstappen romped to victory in the Las Vegas Grand Prix to notch a record-extending 18th win of the campaign
Although Max Verstappen has had many dominant victories this year, his win at the Las Vegas Grand Prix was more hard-fought. He had to fend off his teammate Sergio Perez and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. Verstappen faced challenges during the race, including receiving a time penalty for forcing Leclerc wide at the start and a collision with George Russell. The Safety Car was deployed to clear the debris, setting up an exciting final stint. Verstappen praised the DRS effect and the fun racing it created. He also explained his decision to switch to Red Bull’s skinnier rear wing, which paid off in his victory.
