That in Las Vegas everything had to be bigger and different, we already knew. But that the cooldown room would make way for a 'cooldown limousine' few people saw coming. The drivers took the car across the track towards the Bellagio hotel where post-race interviews were held.
And as always, the cooldown car, in this case, brought many interesting things. A little insight into how the drivers experienced the race. For example, Verstappen explained what happened between him and George Russell: "When I went in, he just drove into me." Time considerations were also important in Verstappen's victory: "When the safety car was there, we didn’t want to change the whole front wing, you know. We’d lose a lot of time." Leclerc in turn commented: "You were generally a bit more quicker on the hards [than on the mediums]."
Verstappen's joke
"Where are we going?" wondered Leclerc during the drive. "We go straight to the night club. See you tomorrow everyone, or not!" joked Verstappen.
