F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix uses helicopters for bizarre safety reason
The United States federal government department conducted helicopter flights over the Las Vegas strip in preparation for this weekend’s F1 race in Nevada. This precaution was taken to detect suspicious radiation ahead of the highly anticipated Las Vegas Grand Prix, which has been a major event in the city since its inception in 2023. Helicopters equipped with radiation-sensing technology were sent out by the Department of Energy (DOE) and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to fly over the F1 street track as a routine safety measure. Similar security procedures were implemented before the 2024 New Year’s Eve celebrations and are now being repeated for the 22nd round of the 2025 F1 campaign. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has increased security measures, including road closures and undercover patrols, to ensure the safety of the Las Vegas Grand Prix attendees. The FIA expressed condolences for the loss of a key figure before the upcoming race in Las Vegas.
