The glitz and glam of Las Vegas won’t just be seen in the lights on the strip or the rich clientele in the stands – at least two of the drivers will take part in the theme as well.

Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez will be racing under the lights at Saturday night’s Las Vegas Grand Prix in specially designed race suits emulating the styles of the ‘King of Rock and Roll’ Elvis Presley.

Checo will be dressed in red while Verstappen will be donning a white suit (capes not included).

“As we gear up for the first ever Grand Prix in Las Vegas, it’s only fitting that we pay tribute to the most prolific Las Vegas icon, Elvis Presley,’ said Red Bull team principal Christian Horner.

‘Elvis left his mark on Vegas and the world, becoming synonymous with the glitz, the flash, and the energy of the strip, something we are hoping to replicate as we take to the track on Saturday night.’

After the race, these suits will go on display at Elvis’s mansion – Graceland in Tennessee

After the grand prix, the suits will be transported to Elvis Presley’s mansion – Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee – where they will be displayed.

It’s just another addition to the spectacle that is this grand prix – having been hyped by nearly everyone in the paddock.

But for some drivers, the hype that this race has brought is disproportionate to the on-track product.
