o The festivities for the Las Vegas Grand Prix kicked off last night with the opening ceremony.
o And it was done in true Vegas fashion with glittery lights, drones, fireworks and lots of fanfare.
o The drivers presentation had the competitors rising up from giant boxes on the pit and introduced to the crowd.
o And one driver was definitely not a fan.
o Max Verstappen says he is not a fan of the showbiz element around the race and that felt like “a clown” at the opening ceremony.
o He said, “For me you can skip all these things” and that the Las Vegas Grand Prix events are “99% show and 1% sporting event.”
o He also said “…I’m looking forward to try to do the best I can but I’m not looking forward to this [the fanfare].”
