Max Verstappen sang Viva Las Vegas after crossing the finish line to claim his 18th win of the season in Sin City.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman pipped Charles Leclerc, who started on pole, and Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez to become the first-ever winner of the new Las Vegas Grand Prix. And he celebrated in style by belting out Elvis Presley's 1964 classic, which was playing over his team radio.<\/p>\n

F1 fans on social media were absolutely loving it, particularly given that the 26-year-old had criticised the song earlier in the week. "The amount of people who don't understand he's taking the p*** here is crazy," one person wrote on X.<\/p>\n

"Top level banter from Verstappen here," another said. A third added: "The king is back in Vegas," while a fourth wrote: "He's been slagging it off all week and now he's singing it after winning. S***housery at its finest."<\/p>\n

Verstappen's victory means he's extended the record for most wins an F1 season to 18, and he'll be favourite to make it 19 in the season finale in Abu Dhabi next weekend. Should that happen, he'll end the campaign having won a whopping 86% of the races he's competed in.<\/p>\n

Will anyone ever beat Verstappen's season win tally? Let us know in the comments section below.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

To put that into context, Michael Schumacher's highest tally for a single season was 13 wins from 18 races (giving him a 72% win rate) – a feat he achieved while winning the last of his seven world titles in 2004. Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, has only ever managed 11 wins, doing so in 2014 (58% win rate), 2018 (52%), 2019 (52%) and 2020 (65%).<\/p>\n

Hamilton finished seventh in Las Vegas, extending his disappointing form in the last month-and-a-half in which he retired in Qatar, was disqualified in Texas, and finished eighth in Brazil. His Mercedes team-mate George Russell finished a place behind him while McLaren's Lando Norris crashed out on lap three before being taken to hospital – understandably as a simple precaution.<\/p>\n
