"Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo rates F1 drivers' singing ahead...

Actor and singer-songwriter Cynthia Erivo, who portrays Elphaba in the popular Wicked film franchise, has made an appearance at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

The award-winning actor was shown clips of both current and former Formula 1 drivers singing from the cockpit of their cars, giving her the opportunity to rank their vocal skills.

Erivo was first shown a clip of McLaren driver Lando Norris enthusiastically singing Friday Dopamine Re-Edit. "Lando, I don't know what the tune is. The effort is there, but I can't hear the tune. So I'm going to give you 4/10, for the effort," she said.

Next up was a clip of two-time champion Fernando Alonso singing We Are the Champions. "You know what, Fernando, I could hear the tunes. I understood what you were singing, and I recognised it immediately. I'm going to give you 5.5/10."

Four-time champion Sebastian Vettel opted for a rendition of Who Let the Dogs Out, which left Erivo wanting more oomph. "Now, Seb, if we're going to do that song, we need a little bit more like, oomph! It was very, very gentle. I'm going to have to take a few points away for the gentility there. It's not a gentle song. We're going to give you a 3/10. I need more effort."

Then came the classic clip of Carlos Sainz singing Smooth Operator, which has since become part of the Spanish driver's brand. "You know what, Carlos? I love the song, but the song was not smooth. However, I do like the song choice. It's one of my favourites. So I'm going to give you 6/10. I know it's a crowd favourite."

The clip of the now-Williams driver was followed by 2009 champion Jenson Button screaming We Are The Champions over his team radio. "You know what, actually, I liked it! I liked it because I can hear the potential for a vibrato in there. And it's high up in the register. You're singing it up there. Jenson, you know what, you get a 7/10. That's the most tuneful I've heard so far."

Max Verstappen was next, singing Viva Las Vegas, impressing the Wicked star. "Max! I'm impressed! You get an 8/10 for that. It's, you know, appropriate for where we are. It's right on the tune there. Rhythm is great. Good job, well done."
