“Yes, there was a smell of weed,” he said. “If they baptize the drivers now, I think we’ll all test positive, I swear.”
Last year the Vegas GP debuted, with Max Verstappen winning the first race.
Perez finished third behind Charles Leclerc.
Before the race on Saturday evening, Lewis Hamilton won both training sessions on Friday.
And while the race is expected to attract a host of celebrities, F1 analyst Karun Chandhok believes organizers should make one big change to the race.
The Vegas GP starts at 10pm local time in Nevada.
