Carlos Sainz has supported Fernando Alonso’s opinion on moving the Las Vegas Grand Prix to a more favorable slot on the Formula 1 calendar. Last weekend’s 50-lap race started the final triple-header of the season on the Las Vegas Strip Circuit. Following a stop at the Lusail International Circuit this weekend, the 2025 season will conclude in Abu Dhabi in two weeks. Sainz and Alonso voiced concerns over the challenging race sequence with races in Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi, emphasizing the toll on drivers. Sainz proposed aligning the Vegas race closer to Brazil to streamline travel and reduce the strain on drivers. He expressed confidence in F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali’s efforts to address the situation and improve the calendar for sustainability and efficiency.
