"...This decision is the reason I paid $5000 to go to the Las Vegas Grand Prix."

LAS VEGAS—Formula 1 sensation Max Verstappen is set to challenge the norms of high-speed racing by navigating the Las Vegas Grand Prix in a Mitsubishi Mirage. This unexpected decision has sent shockwaves through the racing community and is aimed at leveling the uneven playing field that we have witnessed this season.


Verstappen, known for his prowess behind the wheel of powerful and sophisticated race cars, is opting for a more unconventional choice with the Mitsubishi Mirage. The decision to level the playing field with a jelly bean has raised eyebrows, challenging the perception that success on the track is solely reliant on the money, speed, horsepower, aerodynamics, tires, DRS, engineering, or motor of the vehicle.


A spokesperson for Verstappen shed light on the decision, stating, "Max has always been a driver who enjoys challenges. Racing in a Mitsubishi Mirage is a deliberate move to prove that his skill and strategy can win even in the worst conditions."


Fans and fellow racers took to social media to express their thoughts on Verstappen's unexpected choice. One racer remarked, "This is a game-changer. It's refreshing to see a top-tier driver like Verstappen stepping out of the conventional and embracing a different kind of challenge. I think I might podium this time."


Another fan echoed the sentiment, saying, "I can't wait to see how Verstappen handles the Mirage. It's a testament to his skill if he can master a diverse range of cars. This decision is the reason I paid $5000 to go to the Las Vegas Grand Prix."


Verstappen's decision to race in a Mitsubishi Mirage not only challenges the status quo but also reinforces the notion that skill and strategy are paramount in the world of racing. As the anticipation builds, all eyes will be on Verstappen as he takes on the Las Vegas Grand Prix in a car that defies the traditional expectations of high-stakes racing.
