This weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix is the 1,100th World Championship Grand Prix – as RacingNews365 takes a look at the previous landmark races.
This weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix is being celebrated as the 1,100th World Championship race in Formula 1, despite some controversy surrounding the count. The anomaly lies in the inclusion of the Indianapolis 500 races between 1950-1960, which some argue shouldn’t be counted. Nevertheless, F1 acknowledges them as points-paying Grands Prix. The last time a Saturday race was held was in 1985, making this a special occasion after 680 consecutive Sunday races. Previous milestone races have had their iconic moments, from Senna and Prost’s collision at the 1990 Australian GP (race #500) to Lewis Hamilton’s victory in race #900 in Bahrain. Hamilton is also the only driver to have won a milestone race twice, achieving it in China 2019 (race #1,000).
