• The Las Vegas strip is set to host one of the most iconic races in F1 history
• Sports Brief compiled an extensive preview of the Las Vegas Grand Prix

Formula 1 is making its third appearance in the United States this year, marking a significant return after 40 years to the vibrant city of Las Vegas for the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix.

The newly designed 3.85-mile-long street circuit winding around the iconic Vegas strip is poised to host a race that holds immense historical significance for the sport.

This weekend's Grand Prix poses a unique challenge for all teams, potentially setting the stage for the coldest race in Formula 1 history, with temperatures expected to plummet to as low as five degrees Celsius, as reported by Sports Illustrated. Further adding to the complexity, there's a chance of rain on Friday, which could further intensify the racing conditions.

Las Vegas Grand Prix Preview

The inaugural Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix, taking over 'Sin City' this weekend, is poised to become one of F1's most iconic street races. This event, the third in the United States this year after races in Miami and Austin, marks the first race in Vegas since 1982.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix is set to be a fixture on the F1 calendar for the next decade, representing a centrepiece of the sport's recent expansion into America.

Distinguished from other night races like Bahrain and Singapore, every session at the Las Vegas Grand Prix will be conducted under the dazzling lights of the night.

With both championships already decided, hopes are high for drivers to unleash their full potential and put on a spectacular show for what is anticipated to be one of the most exciting and extravagant Grands Prix in the history of the sport.
