Formula One has been taking over Sin City this weekend and the excitement for one of the biggest nights in the racing calendar hit fever pitch on Saturday.
Beyonce and Jay-Z stole the show with a dramatic entrance, with the 'Crazy in Love' singer arriving on the track in her own leather race suit.
There was one driver she was especially excited to see in Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton. The singer, 44, and her husband were seen chatting away to the Englishman, one of the all-time greats in Formula 1.
He didn't just take time out for a chat, thought. He drove Beyone for a hot a lap around the track that in a few hours time, he would be competing on. Afterwards, Hamilton, Beyonce and Jay Z posed for pictures with Travis Scott and Michael Rubin.
Meanwhile, there were plenty of Formula One WAGs determined not to be upstaged by the music power couple.
Hamilton's Ferrari teammate, Charles Leclerc, made a high-profile arrival of his own alongside stunning fiancee Alexandra Saint Mleux.

The couple only announced their engagement earlier in November. They have been dating since 2023 and, according to experts, Leclerc spent big on the engagement ring.
The driver, worth an estimated $125million, splashed out around $525,000 on her ring.
As Leclerc stepped up his preparations, the 23-year-old Saint Mleux found a friend in fellow WAG Rebecca Donaldson.
The Scottish model, who is dating Carlos Sainz, the Spaniard who drives for Williams, walked alongside Saint Mleux through the paddock as excitement started to build in the City of Lights.
Sainz's teammate Alexander Albon made a quieter arrival alongside his girlfriend, Lily Muni He.
She seemed to be feeling the cold in a cooler than anticipated Vegas. It was a cloudy day, with temperatures only reaching around 62 degrees.
Brooks Nader was also catching plenty of attention from the cameras. The model made the headlines during the US Open tennis tournament in New York in September when she was romantically linked to two players in Carlos Alvarez and Jannik Sinner, wore a racing jacket of her own and a plunging black top.

McLaren's championship front-runner Lando Norris will start the Saturday race from the front of the grid after a rainy qualifying session on Friday.
'It was pretty nasty,' Norris said of the conditions. 'It was so slippery.
'The amount of wheel spin in certain places was difficult. It was difficult to lock the tires.
'Everything was pretty tough, so I'm even more satisfied with the end result because of how tricky everything was out there today.'
