The 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix promises to be one of the most spectacular events of the Formula 1 season. Following the success of the modern inaugural edition in 2023, where Max Verstappen claimed victory, the circus returns to light up the streets of one of the world’s most famous cities. With its nighttime atmosphere and unique setting, the race will take place on a 6.2-kilometer street circuit that crosses the iconic Las Vegas Strip. Designed to maximize both spectacle and speed, the track features long straights and a mix of technical corners to encourage overtaking.
The challenge will not only test the drivers but also the teams, who must manage complex race strategies in an environment marked by fluctuating temperatures between day and night. Qualifying is set for Friday evening (local time), while the race will take place on Sunday, November 24, at 7 p.m., providing a stunning backdrop with the city lights illuminating the action. This second modern edition of the Las Vegas GP cements its status as an iconic stop on the championship calendar, blending high-level competition with unparalleled entertainment.
As for the favorites, Max Verstappen aims to further cement his extraordinary season and could clinch his fourth world title in this race. Ferrari is also in the hunt for crucial points in the tightly contested Constructors’ Championship. McLaren holds a 36-point lead over the team from Maranello, with Red Bull in the mix, trailing by 49 points. Verstappen and Norris are the top contenders for victory, with Leclerc close behind. However, the unpredictable nature of a street circuit and strategic variables could lead to surprises.
