The Las Vegas Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar a littler longer.<\/p>\n
Or, a lot longer, depending on your point of view.<\/p>\n
According to an announcement on Thursday evening, a ten-year extension of the Las Vegas Grand Prix has been signed, keeping the race on the F1 schedule through the 2037 season.<\/p>\n
In the announcement, F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali stated that the extension \u201creinforces our long-term commitment to this important market.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled that Formula 1 will continue racing in Las Vegas for many years to come,\u201d said Domenicali. \u201cSince its debut in 2023, the event has been extraordinary, rapidly establishing itself as a premier destination for great racing, world-class entertainment, global business leaders, A-list celebrities and influencers. It has delivered a strong and lasting impact on the local economy and community.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe always believed that Las Vegas would become a cornerstone of our presence in the United States, and this extension, together with the success of recent years, reinforces our long-term commitment to this important market. I would like to thank Las Vegas Grand Prix, Clark County, and the LVCVA [Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority] for their continued support, passion and vision. The future is incredibly exciting, and we look forward to taking this event to even greater heights.\u201d<\/p>\n
The inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix got off to a rocky start, when Carlos Sainz Jr. struck a manhole cover during the first practice session, but since then the race has become a mainstay on the F1 schedule.<\/p>\n
The news comes a year after F1 announced a similar extension for the Miami Grand Prix. At the 2025 installment of that race, F1 announced a ten-year extension for the Miami Grand Prix, keeping that race on the schedule through 2041.<\/p>\n
