F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix track ‘floods’ ahead of race
Just days before the 22nd round of the 2025 F1 championship in Las Vegas, the street circuit faced flooding, creating concerns for the upcoming Grand Prix. The event is crucial as it will determine if Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, or Max Verstappen claims the drivers’ title, with Norris currently leading. Verstappen, the reigning champion, needs to outscore Norris by nine points to have a chance at retaining his title. Despite the flooding in parts of the circuit due to heavy rainfall, the race is expected to proceed as planned with dry weather forecasted for the night race on Saturday. Las Vegas, unaccustomed to heavy rainfall, faced challenges with the flooding, but it’s unlikely to impact the F1 weekend significantly.
