No Formula 1 driver has ever matched the dominant run that Max Verstappen has currently been on since the start of the 2022 season. In his last 46 starts, Verstappen has won a total of 36 races, including a record total of 19 wins in the 2023 season alone. He began 2024 with two more resounding wins, leading most fans to believe that they’re in for another season of Verstappen lapping the field, while all the other teams battle for second place at best. That’s why on Sunday in Australia, the opening laps were shocking. Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz passed Verstappen on lap 2, a surprise in its own r ..read more

WHOA. If you thought Lewis Hamilton would spend the rest of his storied F1 career with Mercedes — the team he’s been with since 2013, with whom he’s won six drivers’ world championships — you may be shocked to find out that’s reportedly not the case. Per multiple reports on Thursday morning, Hamilton will leave the team for Ferrari to team up with Charles Leclerc in 2025, meaning Carlos Sainz will be out. What’s wilder is that Hamilton signed a new deal with Mercedes last summer, but the reports say that perhaps there was an exit clause in there. Fans were absolutely stunned by the reports: B ..read more

The Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix may have been a hot mess express, but this new clip might be the best thing you’ll see all day. Let’s face it: not a whole lot went right for the Las Vegas Grand Prix. There were tire issues that nobody thought of beforehand, bad viewing times and a drain cover that nearly unraveled the whole thing — utter chaos. But not everything was a total dumpster fire. In a newly released behind-the-scenes video, Preston Ward, the chief pilot for Sky Elements Drone Shows, shows viewers how his company lit up the Vegas night sky during the race. Ward enlisted the help of ..read more

LAS VEGAS — In the end, it was another exciting Formula One race that Max Verstappen won — something he’d done 17 other times this F1 season. But it was certainly a long and winding road to get there. For locals (and tourists alike), there weren’t many cheap viewing options for the first-ever Las Vegas Grand Prix — which also included a disastrous eight-minute opening practice session on Thursday night, followed by an unapologetic statement from F1 and subsequent class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of the 35,000 people who bought tickets for the session. Increased traffic around Vegas — and e ..read more

Of course Max Verstappen won the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, as he’s done for most of the 2023 Formula 1 season (that’s not me ripping the Red Bull driver! He’s having an all-time dominant season for any athlete!). And after he crossed the finish line at a race that was star-studded — but also came with some issues — Verstappen got on his radio to hear the congrats from the Red Bull team. It was in that moment captured as always by the broadcast that Verstappen pulled an Elvis Presley and sang Viva Las Vegas. A Vegas ending to a very Vegas weekend: Max Verstappen cantando "VIVA LAS VEGAS" e ..read more

And it also shouldn’t be a surprise that there were a bunch of big-name celebrities, from singers to actors to a Hall of Fame hoops star, in Vegas to watch it all go down. Here’s a roundup of who was there for the race on Saturday night ..read more
