Las Vegas Grand Prix Returns to Kick-Off 2024 Formula 1 Season with High Stakes
The Las Vegas Grand Prix is set to return to the Formula 1 calendar this weekend, with the highly anticipated event marking the start of the league's closing triple-header of races. The spectacle, which saw its delayed return to the circuit last year, promises to be an even more thrilling experience for fans, showcasing the speed and agility of F1 cars in the heart of Sin City.
The 2024 season may have begun with a bang in Abu Dhabi, but with Max Verstappen currently sitting on the cusp of securing his fourth successive drivers' title, Sunday's Las Vegas Grand Prix will be a crucial moment for Lando Norris to challenge the Dutch driver's lead. Norris is still clinging to hopes of chasing down Verstappen and forcing him into a fight to the wire.
Despite taking a blow in Interlagos that has left his championship aspirations hanging in the balance, Norris' McLaren team remains firmly in the mix with Ferrari and Red Bull in their battle for the Constructors' Championship. With the title fight heating up, expect Norris to be determined to make amends with an exceptional performance in Las Vegas.
This year's edition will feature a different schedule than usual, with the Sunday night race marking a first for Formula 1 - with lights-out happening at 6am in the United Kingdom on Sunday morning. The event promoters have promised an eye-catching experience, and fans are guaranteed to be treated to every moment of action this weekend.
