F1 heads to Las Vegas next weeke🥀nd in what is set up to be a fascinating event given the unique track layout and cold temperatures expecte♒d.

Verstappen has enjoyed a remarkable F1 2023 campaign - and could add♋ to it with an 18th victory of the year next𝓡 week.

It might not be plain-sailing for the Dutchman though given he didn’t win at Jeddah, Azerbaijan or Singapore - all of which are street tracks like Vegas - and was pushed hard by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso in Monaco.

Speaking after his most recent win in Br⛦azil last weekend, Verstappen revealed his first taste of the Las Vegas track was on the official F1 23 video game - which didn’t go quite to plan.

“There's still a lot to do,” he said. “I still need to go on the simulator. I still don't 🌠even know the track, to 🧔be honest.

“The last time I✅ tried it on the F1 game, I think I hit more walls than I was going straight. So, let's hope that's not the case when I starꦓt driving there!

“It's going to be very different to here,ಌ very low temperatures, of course in the night there.

“It's a street circuit, we have no𝄹 experience there, we don'tཧ know the track grip.

“All new - 𓃲so maybe it will give you a few surprises. I don't kno♔w.”
