Verstappen Aims for Record Win in Elvis-Inspired Suit

  • Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez will wear 'Viva Las Vegas' race suits in homage to Elvis Presley for the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
  • Verstappen, who will start second on the grid, is aiming for a record-extending single season 18th win.
  • A victory would be Verstappen's 53rd, equalling the tally of four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel and lifting him to joint third in the all-time win list.
  • Despite Verstappen's criticism of the flashy promotion surrounding the event, Red Bull is fully embracing the Las Vegas hype with poker chip wheel covers on their cars.
  • After the race, replicas of the racing suits will be sent to Presley's famed home Graceland, while the speciality branded tyre covers will go to team sponsor PokerStars charity tournament.
