But by the time Justin Bieber waved the checkered flag on Formula One’s return to Las Vegas, the $500 million Sin City gamble had hit the jackpot.

He was an instant Las Vegas convert.Verstappen said he’d have to analyze the rest of the season before declaring Saturday night the best race of the year, but smiled and said: “It was a fun race. I enjoyed it.”Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez even s...
