CHEKO AND HORNER VISIT LAS VEGAS

With just three months to go until the first Formula 1 race at Las Vegas, Red Bull driver Sergio Perez and team principal Christian Horner traveled to Nevada to heat up the atmosphere with a demo run of the RB7.

Red Bull filmed a beautiful promotional video, called ¡Vamos, Vegas!, for the inaugural race, which is scheduled for November 19th. Checo, driving the RB7 has a desert race with Bryce Menzies, six-time off-road champion and Las Vegas native.

The event was attended by a cast of iconic Vegas characters, including Elvis impersonators, showgirls, magician Mat Franco, the iconic Blue Man Group and Mr. Las Vegas himself, Wayne Newton.

Christian Horner: "There is a lot of anticipation around the Las Vegas Grand Prix. It is one we are all very excited for. 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."

Red Bull is a partner to the Las Vegas Grand Prix and brings a new layer of trackside activations, custom hospitality options and multiple consumer experiences. Options include access to the Red Bull Energy Station, a 20,000-square-foot trackside hospitality centre offering three-day admission to premium viewing, exclusive driver appearances, live musical entertainment and gourmet cuisine.

There is no doubt that the Las Vegas Grand Prix will be an absolute spectacle. This is not the first time that Formula 1 has traveled to Las Vegas, but it will be the first time that we will see racing on the main streets of the city of sin. For that we have to wait just a little more than 90 days.
