Formula 1 is coming to Las Vegas with the first race slated for Thanksgiving weekend during November in 2023. Las Vegas will soon be the third US-based city to host an annual race on the Formula 1 circuit following Austin, Texas, and Miami.

According to Front Office Sports, the first look at the Las Vegas circuit layout has been revealed.

The last Las Vegas Grand Prix was held in the Mirage’s parking lot in 1982. However, back then, F1 wasn’t as prominent in the US as it is today. F1 has gained massive popularity in the United States, courtesy of Netflix’s Drive to Survive. Moreover, Haas being an American team and its involvement gives the US-based fans a team to cheer.

According to Front Office Sport, the start and the end of the Grand Prix will be outside Caesar’s Palace. The main straightaway runs between the Wynn and The Cosmopolitan on the Vegas Strip, featuring the famous fountains in front of the Bellagio.

Thirty races a season is extreme according to Martin Brundle

Earlier, F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali revealed the number of races in a season might be on the rise. He conveyed that there could be as many as 30 races included in the following years. However, Martin Brundle is not a fan of this and believes the workload will be extreme for the teams.

He said, “There’s no doubt we are going to 25 races a season, which is extreme. I don’t think we will go to 30. I think the point [Domenicali] was making was: we could go to 30 races as there’s that much interest. The regulations limit it to 24 at the moment, but I’m sure the teams will all agree that if there’s more money to be had and more racing to be had, they will go to 25.”
