About Las Vegas Grand Prix 2024
The sin-city of Vegas will make its return to Formula 1 in 2024. Vegas is going to be the last street circuit of the calendar. The race has been known for its spectacular overtaking battles and racing action in 2023. The 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix was widely criticised due to the decisions of the race managers. The Las Vegas Grand Prix had signed a one-year agreement with Formula 1 in 2023. The race will likely be a permanent fixture for many years to come. It is going to be the last race of the street circuit triple-header and the second last race of the season.
The championship battle in the 2024 Formula 1 season has heated up due to the sudden rise in performance of both McLaren and Ferrari, with Mercedes trailing behind. The championship has also steered away from the dominance of Red Bull Racing. Max Verstappen and Red Bull have found a new challenge for themselves in Lando Norris’s title contention. The chances for yet another dominant comeback by Red Bull have been hindered by the loss of Adrian Newey. Newey has chosen to join the side of Lawrence Stroll and work with Aston Martin in the 2025 Formula 1 season. The ambitious Aston Martin project will see him working alongside two-time world champion, Fernando Alonso. The Formula 1 teams have already decided upon a collective livery reveal for the 2025 Formula 1 season ahead of the upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix.
