Question

Accepted Answer

Replicas of Elvis-inspired race suits to be displayed at Graceland

Following the Las Vegas Grand Prix, replicas of the special Elvis Presley-themed racing suits worn by Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez will be sent to Graceland, the famed former home of the King of Rock and Roll in Memphis, Tennessee. The initiative is part of Red Bull's homage to Elvis Presley for the inaugural Grand Prix in Las Vegas.
Collaboration with Elvis Presley Enterprises

Red Bull partnered with Elvis Presley Enterprises to create the "Viva Las Vegas" race suits. These suits are designed to pay tribute to Elvis' iconic Las Vegas jumpsuit and his association with the city's glitz and energy. Team principal Christian Horner stated that the collaboration aimed to replicate the spirit of the Strip as the team takes to the track.
Verstappen's Participation and Suit Design

Max Verstappen, despite expressing reservations about the promotional hype surrounding the event, will wear the Elvis-themed suit for the race. Promotional images show the suit featuring a red cape and a faux gold belt. This race also marks a potential milestone for Verstappen, as a victory would be his 18th of the season, extending his own record, and would tie him with Sebastian Vettel for third on the all-time wins list with 53 career victories.
Additional Themed Elements

Beyond the racing suits, Red Bull is incorporating other themed elements for the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The team's cars will feature poker chip wheel covers, further embracing the Las Vegas motif. These specialty branded tyre covers are designated to go to a charity tournament hosted by team sponsor PokerStars after the race.
