Have you heard of this up-and-coming extremely talented juggler from the Netherlands? Oh, and also he is the three-time world champion in Formula 1. Max Verstappen is a Dutch gem. He is feisty, and angry and can juggle expectations and roles alike. Not only that, he has already submitted an application to the Cirque du Soleil. And to his resume posted on TikTok, the entertainment group replied, “We’re ready when you are!”
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. However, this is not the case for the first-ever Las Vegas Grand Prix in almost 40 years, the third leg of the American race. As the curtain closes on the 2023 season of Formula 1, Las Vegas is gearing up for a night to remember in motorsports history. And in this star-studded affair, Max Verstappen wants to showcase his talents in precision, not just in a racecar.

When Max Verstappen is not racing at the circuits, he is headlining 24 hours of virtual Le Mans. When he is not headlining the sim races, he is busy in a FIFA marathon. But when the Xbox plug comes out, the Red Bull driver is busy showing off his juggling talent. A man with a myriad of talents. Maybe he could feature as a performing act at the inaugural ceremony of Las Vegas GP?
An opening ceremony for the Las Vegas GP has been announced:

In a TikTok banter many months ago, the Dutch Driver submitted his CV to Cirque du Soleil. It is one of the largest entertainment groups in the world. Having performed on 6 continents and employed more than 4,000 people, the group boasts of exceptional talent and immersive experience. Sold to a Chinese firm for $1.5 billion, the group continues its creative approach. Yet, even the largest entertainment group could not ignore Verstappen’s pure juggling talent.
As Cirque du Soleil is making an appearance for the Grand Prix, whether Max Verstappen will answer the phone from the entertainment group ahead of the Las Vegas GP is uncertain. After all, the Dutch Driver has a race to participate in.
