Las Vegas Grand Prix 2023: Max Verstappen Bags 18th Win In Spirited Formula One Race - In Pics

Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen won his 18th race of the season on Sunday with a pass of Charles Leclerc at the Las Vegas Grand Prix 2023, which turned out to be one of the most competitive events of the season despite a disastrous start to Formula One's expensive extravaganza. “Viva Las Vegas! Viva Las Vegas!” sang the three-time reigning world champion as he crossed under the checkered flag waved by Justin Bieber. Verstappen had slammed the race at every chance, yet raced in an Elvis-inspired firesuit and took the victory on the famed Las Vegas Strip. Verstappen, Leclerc and Sergio Perez were driven in a limousine to a podium located near the Bellagio — "we go straight to the nightclub,” Verstappen told his fellow podium finishers — but they were instead treated to the casino's famed fountain show.
