McIlroy has been a big fan of Formula 1 and has attended several races. Last year, he invested in Alpine.

"There has to be a fun element to it and a sense of purpose and a sense of the journey and partnering with good people, " he said as per New York Times. "And that’s really what we tried to do here."

Speaking of the Las Vegas qualifying, Mercedes driver George Russell edged Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz by just 0.098 seconds to claim pole position for the Las Vegas Grand Prix. That marks his first pole position since the British Grand Prix in July. Additionally, this is Mercedes' best performance in months, with Pierre Gasly of Alpine finishing third in qualifying.
