After years of haggling, an eleventh team appears to be joining the F1 grid after all. Whereas Michael Andretti tried unsuccessfully to launch an F1 team with his surname, it looks like the new team will be the factory team of one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world: General Motors.

With seventeenth place for Max Verstappen and 19th place for Sergio Perez in FP2 in Las Vegas, Red Bull Racing won't be satisfied with their early performance. There is work to be done ahead of Saturday's sessions. A major flaw for the RB20 is its lack of speed on the straights, which there are plenty of on the street circuit in Sin City. A choice Red Bull Raci ng has made in the past is to blame for their rear wing choice.

Johnny Herbert couldn't resist. Once again, the Briton has given an interview to a betting site, and this time the former F1 driver has spoken about Jos Verstappen.

The hot topic around Red Bull Racing has been not having a special rear wing for a track like Las Vegas. Max Verstappen lacks top speed compared to his rivals, because the RB20 has a 'normal' one fitted, that was created for regular tracks. Therefore, having higher top speed is missing.
