Burnouts on Hollywood Blvd: F1 drivers bring racing to LA

Red Bull Racing driver Max Verstappen stands by his car along Hollywood Boulevard in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles on Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2019. The street was thronged with thousands of fans craning for a glimpse of the drivers whose sport has worldwide popularity, but makes a relatively small imprint on the lucrative U.S. market. With the United States Grand Prix in Texas this weekend, the drivers were eager to raise F1's profile on the West Coast. (AP Photo/Richard Vogel)
