Las Vegas: the city of sin, casinos, and blinding lights. Yet, between neon bulbs and flying manhole covers, Formula 1 gave us an absurd spectacle (but only after the race). Some shone, others fell like rotten figs. Here are the report cards… without pity.
| DRIVER / TEAM | SCORE |
|---|---|
| McLaren | 10 |
| Max Verstappen | 9 |
| Kimi Antonelli | 9 |
| Carlos Sainz | 8 |
| Charles Leclerc | 7 |
| Haas | 6 |
| Lewis Hamilton | 5 |
| Lando Norris | 4 |
| Oscar Piastri | 3 |
| Las Vegas GP | 2 |
McLaren – score 10
McLaren – Score 10 McLaren performed a miracle: double disqualification and the championship reopened with two races left. Max Verstappen is now tied on points with Piastri and 24 points behind Norris. It’s like watching an elephant perform acrobatics in a crystal boutique… pure magic!
Max Verstappen – score 9
Max Verstappen – Score 9 Not his most elegant race, but Max brought it home with the coldness of a cobra. Cunning, calculating, and ready to bite anyone who dares to cross him. He won without racing, and he makes you angry just by looking at him.
Kimi Antonelli – score 9
Kimi Antonelli – Score 9 Started 17th, finished fourth, and third after the penalty for the two McLarens. Penalty? Ignored like an annoying gnat. Kimi is pure liquid talent: colder than an iceberg and brighter than the neon lights of the Strip. Every time he drives, he reminds you how mediocre you are.
Carlos Sainz – score 8
Carlos Sainz – Score 8 A quiet but effective weekend. Finishing fifth is like finding an ice-cold beer in the desert: it refreshes the soul and reminds you that, yes, sometimes things go well. Well done, Carlos, a great little moral boost.
Charles Leclerc – score 7
Charles Leclerc – Score 7 The talent is there, but the luck isn’t. It still seems like a trip to Lourdes is his only hope. Pure class, but with bad luck that would make even a desert cactus cry.
Haas – score 6
Haas – Score 6 Solid, but nothing to shout about. Ocon ahead of Bearman is like putting the second-best barbecue competitor ahead of the worst: it works, but no applause. Points in the bag, morale saved.
Lewis Hamilton – score 5
Lewis Hamilton – Score 5 Started last, finished eighth, and seems ready to escape the theater of pain. Driving a Ferrari? For Lewis, it’s like trying to swim in a tub full of piranhas: he tries, but he suffers with every stroke.
Lando Norris – score 4
Lando Norris – Score 4 A race he should have won, but he managed it like a drunken tourist on the highway. First, he attacked Max at the start, then he got lost like a ball in a crazed pinball machine. Still too inexperienced to be a champion… but at least he tries.
Oscar Piastri – score 3
Oscar Piastri – Score 3 More lifeless than a refrigerator in Antarctica. He lost desire, hunger, and dignity, all in one race. Oscar, wake up: the world won’t wait.
GP Las Vegas – score 2
Las Vegas GP – Score 2 An absurd race, free practice sessions cut short by flying manhole covers. Nice track? Maybe not. Lots of money? For sure. Las Vegas is pure spectacle, but if you’re an F1 purist… close your eyes and pray!
Las Vegas proved to be exactly what it promises: an exaggerated spectacle. While the event offered the drama of the double McLaren disqualification—which reopens a Championship that seemed already decided—it also left a bitter taste due to a disastrous pre-race management and a circuit that, unfortunately, failed to convince the purists. Formula 1 arrived in the Sin City and received an ode to chaos in return. Some drivers (like the icy and phenomenal Kimi Antonelli) used the disorder to emerge, while others (like the unrecognizable Lando Norris) were swept away by the vortex.
Ultimately, the 2025 Las Vegas GP concludes with a messy mix of glamour, flops, and absurd results. For the fans, the question remains: was it worth it?
