Max Verstappen wins third consecutive Formula One world championship<\/h3>\n

Red Bull chief Christian Horner believes that the Las Vegas Grand Prix must make changes if it is to be successful in the future. Max Verstappen edged out Charles Leclerc\u00a0in what was an action-packed race filled with drama – but there was plenty of drama over the course of the weekend.<\/p>\n

Formula One turned the state of Nevada upside down to try and ensure that the expensive Las Vegas Grand Prix was a success. The event divided locals, with some unhappy with the disruption and others welcoming the return of motorsport to the area for the first time since the early 1980s.<\/p>\n

Drivers were, similarly, split over how they felt about the race taking place in the area, with Verstappen being particularly vocal about how Formula One must not make a fool of itself as a sport by focusing too much on events outside of the race.<\/p>\n

Carlos Sainz hitting a loose drain cover in practice did not get the weekend off on the right foot, especially given it meant fans saw very little track time on Friday (Thursday in the US). But Sunday’s (Saturday US) Grand Prix was an enthralling race which many involved described as \u2018fun\u2019. However, Red Bull\u2019s Horner feels that some significant changes are required if Formula One is to return to Vegas.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI think one of the things we can look at is the running schedule because it\u2019s been brutal for the team. All the men and women behind the scenes, I think everybody\u2019s leaving Vegas slightly f****d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to look at how we can improve that for the future. We\u2019re running so late at night, so maybe we run it a little earlier in the evening. You\u2019re never going to keep every television audience totally happy. This is an American race, so if you run at eight o\u2019clock in the evening, it would be more comfortable for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
