The 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix was the inaugural race for Formula 1 after many years of absence since 1982. Max Verstappen won the race by a comfortable margin ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Red Bulls Sergio Perez. The race started with qualifying as Ferrari duo Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz set the track on fire by finishing 1 and 2. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez ended in 3 and 4. Due to an engine penalty for Carlos Sainz, he was pushed back to P12. Max Verstappen Started P2 and Sergio started P3.

During the race, Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen battled for the lead as Max pushed Leclerc off the track and the FIA gave him a 5-second pit stop penalty. Leclerc passed Max Verstappen again on the track after that and Max Verstappen went to the pits serving his Penalty and lost some positions. Then he rejoined the track and started to pass every other car on the track. But an incident with George Russel has brought debris onto the track.

Red Flag was shown after and that cost Leclerc very much as many drivers changed their tyres for free and he was running on old tyres. After the restart, Max Verstappen overtook Leclerc and Perez and won the race. Leclerc who was going third launched a sudden attack on Perez and got to second place and the Mexican ended in third.

Verstappen has other places to go.

The Inaugural Race was very special as the organizers made special arrangements for the winners. They arranged a Limo car to pick up the Podium winners. They were brought to the Grandstands in Grandstyle as the three drivers sat in the back seat. They also chit-chatted about their plans after the race.

Leclerc asked Verstappen “Where are we going?”. Max replied To the Bellagio. Leclercc again asked “To the club?” Max said, “We go straight to the nightclub. Skip everything. See you tomorrow everyone or not.” Max Verstappen had a plan even before the race as he wanted to enjoy his time in Las Vegas by going to the nightclub. Let us see where he goes this year after the race.
