Pérez and Horner get into Las Vegas state of mind ahead of F1 Grand Prix

LAS VEGAS – As the countdown to the inaugural Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix on November 19 begins, Oracle Red Bull Racing offers fans a tantalizing preview with ¡Vamos, Vegas!

In a city renowned for its vibrant energy and showbiz flair, Mexican racing sensation Sergio “Checo” Pérez, alongside Team Principal and CEO Christian Horner, took the championship-winning RB7 F1 car for a spin, demonstrating that the spirit of Las Vegas and Formula 1 are a match made in heaven. Here is all you need to know:

– Mexican Sergio “Checo” Pérez, Team Principal and CEO Christian Horner, plus the championship-winning RB7 F1 car, prove that Las Vegas is always a good idea as they prime fans for the upcoming showbiz race.

– Pérez whimsically regales Horner with the details of his last 24 hours in the city that never sleeps as, from driving down the bustling Las Vegas Strip to racing on the scorched Nevada desert to the roof of a casino, no stone is left unturned in the revealing of his epic adventure.

A Saturday night race down the strip is going to be an amazing spectacle, and it speaks to the fun vibe this new race will bring. Filming the light-hearted ¡Vamos, Vegas! with Checo was the perfect way for us to prepare for what’s to come in November.”
