Although the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix didn’t go on without some pre-race drama and issues from angry locals to loose drain covers on the track, the actual contest in Sin City went down on Saturday night without a problem.
Unsurprisingly, Max Verstappen took home yet another victory in a season full of them. 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:
