Max Verstappen powered through the Las Vegas Grand Prix to claim the crown for the second time in his career.
Verstappen became the first driver to win the Formula 1 race twice, having won the inaugural event in 2023.
The Dutch-Belgian racer beat out Lando Norris and George Russell, who remained among the Top 3 for most of the race alongside Verstappen.
Russell is the only other driver to win the race, having won in 2024. Norris entered the race as the polesitter.
The trio celebrated in the back seat of a pink Cadillac that was driven around the course by actor Terry Crews.
Formula 1 had taken over Sin City for the race for the weekend, turning the Vegas Strip into the Las Vegas Strip Circuit – a 17-turn, 3.8-mile street course in the heart of the city.
