Lando Norris given extra motivation as Las Vegas GP chiefs plan Max Verstappen party

has the chance to spoil the party - literally - at the next weekend, with organisers planning a celebration event should confirm his fourth World Championship.

When it comes to closing out a Drivers' Championship title, there are few better places to do so than Las Vegas. The iconic city in the Nevada desert is famous for its glamour and excess, and the wild parties that take place day in and day out on the Strip, where F1 will race next weekend.

According to a report from , initial conversations between Las Vegas GP and Red Bull representatives have taken place, discussing options for a show-stopping celebration should Verstappen walk away from Sin City with a fourth World Championship crown.

Renee Wilm, CEO of the event, told Autosport: "I'm sure that we would be able to pull some ideas out of our hat, maybe pre-arrange some pretty exciting opportunities. When you consider the properties on the Strip - Wynn and Encore are second to none in terms of the highest class of hospitality.

"Then, of course, you have the Bellagio further down the Strip, with those iconic fountains, and the level of VIP service that the Bellagio offers. There are so many opportunities to highlight the drivers, and particularly if we actually do have the benefit of being able to get a champion [crowned]."

When Verstappen headed to Las Vegas for the first time last year, the title had already been clinched following the most dominant campaign in F1 history. However, it is still hanging in the balance in 2025.

For Norris, the task is clear. He currently trails Verstappen by 62 points in the standings, and if the Dutchman ends next Sunday's race with a 60-point advantage, he will be crown world champion. A victory, therefore, will be enough to postpone the celebrations to the Qatar Grand Prix.

Wilm believes that this uncertainty could be enough to drive up ticket sales for this year's event. "The fact that the championship is still up for grabs is incredibly influential, particularly in the US market," she continued.

"I think there's the legacy fans that are oftentimes more focused, maybe on how their team or their driver is performing, whereas in the US, we love to see good competition, and it's less about who the particular team or driver is.

"So to know that there is still so much on the line and that the championship is going to be up for grabs, and the fact you've had so many different drivers on the podium is itself creating a lot of excitement and buzz."
