Max Verstappen Triumphs in Chaotic Las Vegas Grand Prix
Max Verstappen wins the Las Vegas Grand Prix, wearing an Elvis Presley-inspired race suit and singing "Viva Las Vegas" as he crossed the finish line. Despite initial skepticism about the event, Verstappen delivered a thrilling race, securing his 18th win of the season and becoming the first man to win three races in the same country in a season. He overtook Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to take the lead, despite a five-second penalty for pushing Leclerc off the track at the start. Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez finished third, securing second place in the drivers' championship. Mercedes had a disappointing performance, with Lewis Hamilton in seventh and George Russell in eighth.
