The Las Vegas Grand Prix according to social media
A flying MCL60, a Jack Daniel’s road trip, and an early alarm: Las Vegas’ best tweets
On and off track, the Las Vegas Grand Prix was one for the ages. Not only did the weekend live up to its billing as the most extravagant event of the year, the race delivered an action-packed wheel-to-wheel battle from lights to flag.
A spectacular LED light show wowed and amazed, the sphere kept fans entertained all weekend long, and, from David Beckham and Brad Pitt to Shaquille O'Neal and Paris Hilton, the stars showed up to sprinkle some celebrity stardust across the circuit. Ahead of the race, the MCL60 even took a trip through the skies over the Las Vegas Strip.
And although Lando’s race sadly ended prematurely following a crash, Oscar put on a thrilling performance as he charged from 18th to 10th. Here's what social media made of the very first Las Vegas Grand Prix…
Lando wasn’t the only one celebrating a birthday around the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

After 18 months of build-up, we finally arrived in Las Vegas, but not before Lando and Oscar had been on an epic road trip with Jack Daniels.
We need this type of thing more often. Think tooned, but better #fanslikenoother https://t.co/vW2Y6LU618

Qualifying didn’t go to plan as we suffered our first double-Q1 exit since the Miami Grand Prix, but you knew just what we needed.
We’ll have to fight for a result tomorrow then. But this is McLaren, you can do it 💪💪💪 pic.twitter.com/aFfL6xOuf6

Lando suffered a tough and premature end to his first Las Vegas Grand Prix, but we’re thankful that he was okay after a nasty crash in the early stages.
So glad he's okay, that was such a big impact
— Portia🏎️🏁 (@Porsche_f12020) November 19, 2023
Oscar was the only McLaren left on track after the Safety Car period and he made a rapid start, climbing nine places from his starting position of 18th.
Let's go oscar, keep pushing
