As drivers arrived the whole paddock knew this race weekend would be different

Even the Elvises knew there was a change in the vibe

It's the first Las Vegas F1 race in the city since 1982

The usual light show was expected

A random manhole causing damage to cars and chaos during Friday practice, less so

The celebrity guestlist seemed endless, including Terry Crews and Usain Bolt

Donny Osmond was working - singing the US national anthem

Drivers gambled on the super-fast circuit

Some, like Lando Norris, lost out

It was an eventful race, with Verstappen penalised for this early pass on Leclerc

But the outcome was the same: Champion Verstappen - who appeared to borrow a race suit from the Elvises - took victory
