Max Verstappen has intensified his criticism of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, with the Dutchman not fazed by the glitz and glamour in Sin City.

The ‘show’ appears to have taken priority over the racing at times and Verstappen has not shied away from making his feelings known.

“I think Monaco is like the Champions League, this is National League,” he said earlier this weekend.

“I love Vegas but not to drive in a Formula One car. I love to have a few drinks, throw everything on red, have some nice food but emotions, passion? It’s not there compared to some old-school tracks.

“It’s more about the proper race tracks, Spa, Monza. Seeing the fans there is incredible and when I jump in the car I am fired up and I love driving around these places.”
