Moreover, Axl was seen hanging around the pit lane with Metallica’s Robert Trujillo and giving interviews to prominent media outlets like Sky Sports and Swedish video streaming company Visplay.
During an interview with Visplay, reporter Mervi Kallio delved into Axl’s friendship with Finnish driver Kimi RĂ€ikkönen. Axl expressed his admiration for Kimi, noting that they have a strong bond and get along well. This camaraderie between the rock icon and the Formula 1 driver dates back to 2008 when Axl thanked Kimi in the sleeve notes of Guns N’ Roses’ album Chinese Democracy.
A past interview with Kimi RÀikkönen in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera shed light on their friendship. While Kimi seemed perplexed about being acknowledged in the album, he confirmed that he and Axl have crossed paths several times over the years, fostering a genuine connection that transcends their respective professions.
The exciting race culminated in Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen clinching victory, with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Red Bull’s Sergio PĂ©rez securing the remaining podium spots. It was a thrilling event that captivated the audience and left a lasting impression. As Formula 1 enthusiasts eagerly await the next race, the Las Vegas Grand Prix will go down in history as a grand affair filled with glamour, speed, and star power.
