[Saba Sports News] The organizers of the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix hope that Dutch driver Max Verstappen can clinch the F1 Driver’s Championship ahead of time in Las Vegas. If Verstappen replicates his victory from the Las Vegas Grand Prix 12 months ago, he will be crowned a four-time F1 champion. The Las Vegas race was a massive success both economically and sports-wise in its inaugural year. Last year’s race saw Verstappen execute 99 overtakes and ultimately win. This year’s Las Vegas Grand Prix carries even more significance, as Verstappen’s victory in Brazil opened the door for him to win the Driver’s Championship for the fourth consecutive time. If Verstappen crosses the finish line first in Las Vegas, he will be the world champion again. Lando Norris needs to beat Verstappen by at least three points to keep the championship suspense alive until the Qatar Grand Prix. Prior to the race, reports indicated that the Las Vegas organizing committee had contacted the Red Bull team, stating they were prepared for a championship celebration and hinted at exciting special events.
