Formula 1 is returning to its newest race in Las Vegas under the lights of the strip for the third year.
The Las Vegas track isn’t considered particularly difficult in its layout, but the track conditions, including highly trafficked public roads and freezing temperatures, make this race a nail-biter.
In Las Vegas last year and the year prior, the sessions on the Las Vegas Strip Circuit have provided fans with several crashes, namely current championship leader Lando Norris during the 2023 Vegas GP. This year, with even more difficult conditions, it’s not expected to be any different.
Last year, it was George Russell who took home the win in Vegas, with Max Verstappen clinching his 4th World Drivers’ Championship Title. The Championship hangs in the balance for McLaren’s Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen this time around with no clear winner yet emerging.

That said, this track has historically not been the strongest for Lando Norris, with his 2023 crash and a 6th-place finish in 2024. Even with the ‘fastest car’ anecdotally, the weather conditions could throw a wrench in the plans for the entire F1 Grid.
