Red Bull reveal team release ahead of Las Vegas Grand Prix
The Red Bull Formula 1 team has unveiled an exclusive merchandise collection ahead of the highly anticipated Las Vegas Grand Prix, marking the sport’s return to the United States next weekend.
As the 2024 F1 season approaches its final stages, the Las Vegas race kicks off a triple-header with just two events remaining after it.
Red Bull’s Max Verstappen is poised to secure his fourth consecutive drivers’ championship, solidifying his dominance in the sport.
Despite Verstappen’s commanding position in the drivers’ standings, Red Bull has faced challenges both on and off the track this year.
The Dutchman’s recent victory in Brazil was his first since June’s Spanish Grand Prix, highlighting a tougher season compared to previous years.
Meanwhile, the team has struggled in the constructors’ championship, leaving the title battle less secure.
Sergio Perez, Verstappen’s teammate, has endured an even more difficult season.
The Mexican driver has failed to find consistent form, with his last podium finish dating back to April.
In stark contrast to Verstappen’s eight wins this season, Perez has frequently finished outside the points.
His struggles have led to speculation about his future with the team, with many fans and analysts questioning whether he should remain alongside Verstappen.
Perez faced particularly intense scrutiny following a disappointing performance at his home race, the Mexico Grand Prix, last month.
Despite rumors that he might be dropped before the season’s end, Red Bull had confirmed a contract extension for Perez earlier this year.
Recent developments suggest that Perez’s position is safe for now, as he features prominently in Red Bull’s newly launched Las Vegas-themed merchandise collection.
The collection allows fans to show their support for either driver, offering items such as a Vegas-themed cap adorned with Perez’s number 11 or gear celebrating Verstappen’s pursuit of a fourth title with his number 1.
For those looking for broader Red Bull team apparel, the collection also includes limited-edition t-shirts and baseball jerseys with a unique Las Vegas flair.
The new merchandise drop comes as Red Bull prepares for an iconic race around the streets of Las Vegas.
While Verstappen looks to extend his remarkable achievements, the focus on Perez in the promotional campaign suggests Red Bull is standing by their current driver lineup, at least for now.
Fans of the team have the opportunity to gear up in style as the 2024 F1 season nears its thrilling conclusion.
