F1 2023 season race schedule: When is the Las Vegas Grand Prix?
F1 returns to Las Vegas for the first time in over 40 years for the inaugural street race on the famous strip
F1 heads to Las Vegas for the highly-anticipated inaugural race on the world-famous strip and the penultimate grand prix of the 2023 season.
Max Verstappen won his 17th grand prix of a sensational season last time out in Brazil, with Lando Norris claiming second place once again and Fernando Alonso clinching third spot ahead of Sergio Perez after a tremendous late battle in Interlagos.
Mercedes endured a torrid weekend to forget in Sao Paulo, while Charles Leclerc was forced to retire before the race even began due to a mechanical issue with his Ferrari car.
F1 now returns to Vegas for the first time in 41 years for a 50-lap race around the picturesque 3.8 mile, 17-turn circuit. The race has a 10-year contract and will take place under the lights on Saturday night in Sin City.
