Despite there being little to still play for, the first of the final two rounds of the 2023 Formula 1
The upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix is a unique venture for F1, with the sport acting as its own promoter. While F1 believes it is ready, the question remains whether Vegas is ready for F1. Past attempts to crack the American market, like the ill-fated Caesars Palace Grand Prix, have not been successful. However, F1’s popularity in the United States has grown significantly in recent years, thanks in part to the Netflix documentary series Drive to Survive. As a result, F1 saw a commercial opportunity and added Vegas to the calendar. Ticket prices for the event have been a point of discussion, with some prices being significantly reduced in recent weeks. Additionally, the race’s late-night start time and cool temperatures in November may pose challenges for drivers. Overall, the Las Vegas Grand Prix is a bold move for F1, with potential upsides but also risks.
