By now, we all know that Formula One is as much about racing cars as it is about being seen looking stylish while exploring whatever locale at which the event is taking place. Over the weekend, as racers including Sir Lewis Hamilton, Checo Perez, Max Verstappen, and Charles Leclerc hit the track in Las Vegas for the Grand Prix, many other famous faces were spotted in the stands and at parties around Sin City. For reasons that are not entirely clear to the non-loyal viewer, Justin Bieber got to wave the checkered flag signaling the end of the race. Here’s who made it to Vegas for the Grand Prix.
