Max Verstappen won the Las Vegas Grand Prix in dramatic fashion on Sunday, on a weekend marred by controversy in Sin City.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman has already won this year’s championship, and yet made it 18 wins from 21 with only one round remaining.<\/p>\n

Verstappen was forced to overcome a five-second time penalty during the race, as well as manage collisions with Charles Leclerc and George Russell.<\/p>\n

Ferrari’s Leclerc passed Sergio Perez on the final lap to clinch second place, while British star Lando Norris ended up in hospital after a third-lap 180mph crash.<\/p>\n

Lewis Hamilton finished seventh.<\/p>\n

But much of the focus of the race was off the track, with the event hitting a number of problems over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Controversially billed as the most expensive race in Formula One history, fans on Thursday only managed to see eight minutes of racing during the practice session, after a loose manhole cover on the street circuit tore a hole in Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari<\/strong>, bringing proceedings to a screeching halt.<\/p>\n

It was more than five hours before cars were allowed back on the track, by which point fans had been made to leave.<\/p>\n

‘Shambolic’ Las Vegas Grand Prix halted<\/span>
\n<\/figcaption>Hours before the race itself, organisers were hit with a class-action lawsuit<\/strong> filed on behalf of 35,000 fans who only got to see a few minutes of the event.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Verstappen compared the glitzy, celeb-packed event, to the fifth tier of English football<\/strong>, telling reporters after qualifying: “Monaco is Champions League and this is National League.”<\/p>\n

He added: “When I was a little kid, it was all about the emotion of the sport that I fell in love with and not the show. As a real racer, the show shouldn’t matter.”<\/p>\n

The event was packed with celebrities in and around the paddock, including the likes of Kylie Minogue, Justin Bieber and John Legend.<\/p>\n

The Formula One season closes next weekend, with the final race taking place at Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina circuit.<\/p>\n

Verstappen and Red Bull colleague Perez have already tied up first and second place in the championship, while Hamilton sits in third.<\/p>\n

Red Bull will take the season’s constructors trophy.<\/p>\n
