McLaren boss Brown challenges Wolff: 'Little boxing match?'

Formula 1 in Las Vegas in November should be a big show: racing across the legendary Strip and next to all the casinos in the world's biggest gambling city. Off the track, too, it should be a spectacle. If it is up to McLaren CEO Zak Brown, he and his fellow team bosses Toto Wolff (Mercedes) and Christian Horner (Red Bull Racing) will play a leading role in it.

Brown challenged Wolff at English Sky Sports to step into the ring with him in Las Vegas. "When we go Vegas, what's Vegas known for? Little boxing match? I'm ready," said Brown, who says he has already spoken to Wolff about it. The US city has hosted many historic boxing matches in the past.

Time for a rematch?

With Horner, McLaren's CEO has other plans. For him, the American wants to organise a special race. In the past - when both men were young and not active Formula 1 team bosses - they already raced against each other. There should be a rematch in Las Vegas, at least if it is up to Brown.

It is unclear whether Horner and Wolff will do what Brown suggested. As indicated, it is still quite a while before the Las Vegas Grand Prix is scheduled (for the first time).
