SIR LEWIS HAMILTON was left red-faced after he came close to crashing his Mercedes during Formula One’s official launch party for the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Saturday. At one point, he even came close to crashing into the barrier. Hamilton saw the funny side of it though as he joked about the mishap on stage later that evening. The inaugural Las Vegas GP will take place next year from November 16 to November 18. It will mark F1’s first-ever Saturday race, taking place at night against the iconic Las Vegas backdrop. After getting a feel for the track during the official Las Vegas launch party, Hamilton suggested that it’ll be a calendar highlight.
