If you are looking for Max Verstappen as a VRP to lay claim to the Las Vegas Grand Prix (United States), you are on the wrong track. Worse than that, the Dutchman may even do everything so that you go far, very far, from the city of sin. Since the start of the week, the three-time F1 world champion has not stopped criticizing the organization of the GP. And he did it again this Saturday, after qualifying.
“A Formula 1 on a street circuit does not deliver its full potential,” commented Max Verstappen, in comments reported by The Team. Above all, F1 deserves real circuits. When you go to Spa, to Monza or to these types of circuits, it’s a matter of emotion and passion. » And, speaking of emotion and passion, the Dutchman painted a sketch of the typical spectator in Las Vegas, who came to the circuit, according to him, for everything, except out of interest in F1.
“Here, most come to party, have a drink, dance to the sound of a DJ and get upside down. They come to see their favorite artist, have a few drinks and have wild nights. I like Las Vegas, but not for driving an F1 car there. » This should not prevent him, on Sunday, even starting “only” from second position, from winning a new Grand Prix. The 18th of the season.
