It was recently revealed that there would be no ‘cooldown room’ at the Las Vegas GP since Liberty Media had other devious plans. Rolls Royce was the car of choice for the podium winners to talk inside of. Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, and Sergio Perez were the podium winners at the inaugural Las Vegas GP.

The three drivers sat in the car and discussed the incidents of the race and also about the ‘cooldown car’. The race leader broke the silence in the car and started talking about his incidents in the race. The Dutchman recalled the accident with George Russell and claimed how the Briton drove into Verstappen at Turn 12.

Charles Leclerc subsequently asked the two Red Bulls about their pitstop under safety car conditions to which Verstappen explained about his second pit due to vehicle damage in the collision with George Russell. Verstappen finally added that the car would go straight to the nightclub as he won the race and was in the mood to party. Additionally, the race leader added that he would see everyone tomorrow or not in a humorous way.

The three drivers seemed to talk it out fine in the end of the race. Neither Verstappen nor Leclerc addressed the turn 1 incident between them and remained quiet soon after the discussion shifted to other incidents during the race. The drivers sat together as the Rolls Royce took a lap of the Nevadan circuit of the Las Vegas GP.

Fans on social media has a mixed feelings towards the ‘cooldown car’

In a recent tweet on X, fans were quick to take note of the ‘cooldown car’ and comment on it. The positive side of the fans claimed that it was very cool seeing the cooldown car as a Rolls Royce and the drivers sitting inside it chatting. Another fan exclaimed how he loved the cooldown car, and one fan commented that this car was cooler than the golf buggies at the Miami GP.

The negative stance of the fans was also present about the cooldown car. Some fans called it awkward as the drivers barely fit inside the car. Meanwhile, another fan called the cooldown car pathetic and felt that the old cooldown rooms were better. Another fan added that it was weird to seat three people inside a two-seater car.

Regardless of the trolls and negative reactions that the Las Vegas GP received, Fans cannot disagree with the fact that the Nevadan circuit delivered a lot of racing action in terms of racing and also provided a grand show to the fans. Verstappen emerged victorious, and hence, the Las Vegas GP is considered a grand success despite the major backlash received to it.
