Las Vegas Grand Prix

The Las Vegas Grand Prix is a Formula One motor racing event held on a temporary street circuit in Paradise, Nevada. As part of the FIA Formula One World Championship, it is a night race that incorporates a section of the famous Las Vegas Strip. The inaugural event took place in November 2023, and the race is currently contracted to remain on the calendar through at least 2027.

This event is notable for its high-profile location on the Las Vegas Strip, creating a dramatic urban racing spectacle under lights. It represents Formula One's strategic effort to expand its presence in key American markets, joining the existing United States Grand Prix in Austin and the Miami Grand Prix. The race is characterized by its unique challenges, including a street circuit layout and nighttime racing conditions.

Recently, the 2025 edition of the Grand Prix has been in the news due to eventful practice sessions ahead of the main race. Multiple media outlets have reported on track incidents that caused red flag stoppages, including a manhole cover issue that required track repairs. These interruptions have affected team running schedules while providing early indications of car performance, with drivers from McLaren and other teams posting competitive times during the disrupted sessions.
