The Las Vegas Grand Prix was a mixed bag for Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who finished fifth in Saturday night’s race on the Strip but clinched his fourth straight Formula One championship.
The race was also a mixed bag for Las Vegas sportsbooks a year after they set record betting handles, or amount of money wagered, on the inaugural F1 race on the Strip.
Station Sports and BetMGM again reported record handles for the F1 race as both sportsbooks shattered last year’s mark.
“The handle was phenomenal,” Red Rock Resort sportsbook director Chuck Esposito said. “It was, by far, the largest F1 handle we had this year and easily surpassed the record handle we had last year on it.”
