Formula 1 returns to the Vegas Strip this weekend with the second running of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The 3.8-mile track will weave past world-famous landmarks, casinos and hotels and cut through the heart of The Strip, as drivers hit top speeds of up to 217 mph in pursuit of F1‘s ultimate prize. Max Verstappen, who won the inaugural running of the race last season, has a chance to wrap up his fourth straight F1 drivers’ championship. With a healthy 62-point lead over Lando Norris and a maximum of 86 points still on the table, Verstappen only needs to leave Vegas with a 60-point lead to earn the crown.
