Hamilton impressed in Vegas: 'Everyone I know in Hollywood is coming'
F1 News
Whereas Max Verstappen previously reported that he was not a fan of the big show surrounding the Grand Prix in Las Vegas, Lewis Hamilton likes the spectacle in Nevada.
Verstappen said he felt like a clown at the opening ceremony ahead of the race weekend. He also criticised the timetable, as completely different times will be driven in Abu Dhabi next weekend.
Hamilton impressed
Hamilton thinks the weekend does make a huge impression: "There's everybody I know in Hollywood coming, there’s a lot of high net-worth people coming, there’s going to be a lot of business going on this weekend, and hopefully a good spectacle for people to watch, even for those back home who have maybe never been to Vegas, they’ll still get to see what Vegas is about."
Hamilton hopes for racing spectacle at Las Vegas GP
On the subject of on-track spectacle, Hamilton says he is waiting to see the race: "From a racer’s perspective, you want to have the best show, you want to have the race track that provides a race like for example Baku, which in terms of racing, is one of the best races, with lots of overtaking. That would be amazing, rather than just one car disappearing and cars not overtaking, for example."
