IT'S KYLIE AMUSING

Lew loving Vegas razzmatazz but Max not feeling so lucky

LEWIS HAMILTON has lapped up the Las Vegas treatment, insisting a weekend in Sin City is just what Formula One needs.

The seven-time world champion spoke enthusiastically about the traction a race around the streets of Vegas could create for the sport.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen, by contrast, was only concerned about the lack of traction the cars will have as temperatures drop into single figures on the circuit.

Verstappen would far rather be blasting around a sodden Spa or a majestic Monza this weekend, as he steadfastly refused to get on board with the decision to bring racing back to the Nevada city for the first time in 41 years.
