Formula One World Driving Championship:
LAST GP: Saturday Nov. 18th: The brand new Las Vegas Grand Prix, the “Trip Down the Strip!” This was a good one!
Max Verstappen wins yet again, no surprise even after two safety cars, and a 5 second penalty for a controversial squeeze and pass of pole-sitter Charles Leclerc off the start. Max then passed both his teammate Sergio Perez and Leclerc for a second time to score the win, his 18th from 21 races, another new record, plus a record-breaker for Red Bull, who have surpassed Mercedes’ previous tally of 19 wins in a season.
Perez had to settle with the final spot on the podium after losing a place on the last lap for the second time in two races. However, the result secures Perez second place in the championship to give Red Bull their first-ever 1-2 driver finish. Leclerc hung in for 2nd, sandwiched on the podium between Max and Checo. McLaren’s Lando Norris had a huge wall-whack in turn 12 on lap 4. Got out of the car on his own. Checked out at hospital-released! He’s OK.
Canada’s Lance Stroll at Vegas: 5th again, much better and back to back with his 5th in Brazil!
ET: F-1 Points: into the season-capper on the 26th the Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi: the fight for 2nd place under champion Max Verstappen is done! Sergio Perez locks down the runner-up position. Mercedes’ lead over Ferrari in Constructors is only 4 points! That needs to be decided.
Next GP: Sunday November 26th: The 2023 season-closer, The Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi.
