F1 drivers are famous across the globe for living a lavish lifestyle. With the sport heading to Las Vegas, a city popularly called the entertainment capital of the world and famous for its luxurious offerings, it seems as though the drivers are traveling to a very familiar environment. Most drivers are still either still young or enjoy an ‘adventurous’ lifestyle, which makes their Vegas trip, potentially more exciting.
Away from the luxurious hotels, brand stores, and casinos, another popular attraction of Sin City is the wedding chapels, which operate 24/7. Given the curious nature of the drivers and the availability of many ‘luxuries,’ the official YouTube channel of F1 asked drivers who would be the most likely to end up marrying in Las Vegas.

The French driver was open to the idea as he said, “I could do that.” Furthermore, the Honey Badger pounced on the opportunity to pull the legs of Leclerc and Russell, as he said they were both likely to get hitched.
Explaining the reason behind taking Leclerc’s name, Ricciardo said it’s because he likes relationships. He said he took Russell’s name because Russell “told” him he wanted to “get down on one knee” for Mundt and have Elvis marry them in Vegas. Max Verstappen also joined the bandwagon as he took Yuki Tsunoda‘s name and claimed they would all have to keep a strong eye on the Japanese driver as he tends to go ‘crazy’ on a night out. Verstappen also asked fans to keep an eye out for Ricciardo.
