Max Verstappen was particularly vocal about his opposition to the Las Vegas GP – but Christian Horner has suggested he had anything against the race itself.
Christian Horner has suggested that Max Verstappen’s criticism of the Las Vegas Grand Prix was not about the race itself, but rather the show element of the event. Verstappen had previously stated that the event was mostly a show rather than a sporting event. However, he ended up winning the race, and Horner believes that he enjoyed the actual racing. Red Bull had planned special Elvis Presley-themed race suits for Verstappen and Sergio Perez, which they revealed after qualifying. Horner explained that this was something they had discussed with Verstappen weeks in advance, and having both drivers in Elvis outfits on the podium was a great result.
