P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The Las Vegas Grand Prix will be F1’s third Saturday grand prix of the season, but the reason differs from the first two.
In an F1 weekend, besides the on-track sessions, drivers have various obligations like interviews, promotions, and fan interactions. This requires them to have a good understanding of the track activities lined up. Typically, weekends are structured with practice sessions on Friday, followed by practice, qualifying, and the Grand Prix on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Some weekends feature sprint sessions, altering the usual schedule where second practice transitions to sprint qualifying and the third practice turns into a sprint race. Occasionally, race weekends like in Las Vegas may differ due to time zone disparities between Europe and the U.S. As the U.S. is nine hours behind most of western Europe, to accommodate global audiences, the Las Vegas Grand Prix is held on Saturday night at 22:00 local time, corresponding to Sunday morning in Europe at 06:00 in the UK and Ireland and 07:00 in Central European Time.
