The worst was Ferrari with their first driver Leclerc having issues even before the race started.
It was during the formation lap!

I did watch it and it was really unlucky of him and I saw how he lost control of his grip and just continued to the barriers and it was a wreck. It was really hard for him probably because he never even showed his skills yet during the race.

It seems he has the worst luck with his car and his team this entire season.

A lot has happened and I think it's probably the worst thing that happened to him this season.

Qualify was ruined by the rain but once again Max got the position.

this time he got it because it was the 1st running, he always makes the correct decision.

Betting against him is a mistake. Had Hamilton doing something on this track but he didn't get even a podium place.
Alonso looked like a brand new driver with his performance in getting second place and defending it in the very last seconds of the race to pull out another podium place just like he did at the beginning of the season.
Even Stroll managed to get some points for Aston Martin.

Agree in this one, is a nonsense to bet against Max this season i tried it a couples of time but its impossible, if you see also he didnt retire in any race, he only end 5 in Singapore being his worst race, and in a few he ended second behind Perez at the start of the season.

For the next race it is a new track for these drivers:


Here is a local news broadcast talking about it's final completion stages of construction:

What a ""turn"" is the 13º hahaha, man is gonna be a very very long straight, so some teams with good top speed are gonna be a headache. I can see Alpine with amazing top speeds or Williams being a problem for the big teams in that straight. DRS is gonna be very important, but i dont know how the teams are gonna set the cars.

The rivalry between Perez and Alonso in the last moments was really lovely. It made me remember Perez's incredible defending against Hamilton in 2021 with the aim of helping Verstappen get closer to them. This time Perez was hunted with his own move by Alonso.    Because Alonso was really amazing about staying ahead of him by a small gap at the end of the race.

There was only a difference like 0.05 seconds at the end. After Perez overtook him on the start straight I wasn't expecting Alonso to fight back that strong. Experience and being one of the most talented drivers on the grid really make difference. Alonso is 42 years old but his reflexes are still great.

It was really a fun watch actually these two gave the audience a spectacular race for sure it was like racing to win this race, but we all know it was racing just to get to the Podium, and for sure Sergio Perez didn't need to be ashamed because he has lost the podium the important part here is they both have an amazing race and both of them have so much fun about it I think that is the essence on F1 that many are not experiencing anymore the thrill on who will win the race, and both drivers have shown true heart and skill and the Experience of Fernando Alonso surely prevailed in this race, here is the video for the ones that haven't seen their toe to toe performance,

It is really hopeless to say that Max Verstappen is not going to win a race as that is 1 is to 10 that is happening, as Max Verstappen is pretty much unstoppable for the time being for sure I truly believe that the dominance of Max Verstappen is not stopping anytime sooner, the young man is just keeps on getting great in his every race, so yeah always predict that he will end up winning the race for sure,

The only thing I can think of is this track is brand new to all drivers as F1 is making a return back to Las Vegas.
So this race there can be won by anyone because no driver has any experience on it and they have to learn the turns and the zones where they can gain any advantage during the course of the race.

Yes, I only noticed it when you mentioned it actually!
That straight away is the entire length of the entire track so it will be fun to watch which cars will have the most power so to turn into a shuttle and see how fast their engines can go!

[Volgastallion]

Another thing i noticed in your image is, in turn 5 we are in front of the new sphere of Las Vegas, i hope they dont make any stupid thing that can cause problems in the vision of the drivers, for example putting something really bright. But i think we are gonna see something fun in that sphere, a surprise from the F1.

F1 news slow this week since the race is next weekend so found something very interesting to watch to fill that void for racing action until the end of the season:

What an ammount of screens, i think is really beatifull to see so much screens with tons of cameras and angles, but after sometime , you ended up only seeing the main one 

I remember one guy (i dont remember his name) who has a setup with 20 screens or something like that, so he can see every camera of the drivers.

[LTU_btc]

I saw someone comparing Las Vegas to Spider Pig upside down and now I can't get this image out of my head . But seriously it's another boring street circuit and I'm not big fan of it. I expect that overtaking will be just in DRS zones. And that extremely long straight, something similar like in Baku.

Thanks for sharing very interesting content. I knew that they have room with so many screens and all feed from all these cameras, but I'm trying to imagine how difficult is to make final product that we get on TV. Motorsport is probably most difficul type of sport when it comes to broadcasting.

That long straight is surely made for Red Bull I think they would like those straight lines because the RB19 can accumulate acceleration faster than the other cars with their likely aerodynamic body well this is just a speculation I had, for sure Sergio Perez will be happy about it but this is just a maybe as the McLaren, Ferrari and the Aston Martin are all in favor for this kind of things, for sure it will make sense when we see all F1 cars in action,

This is an all-new track they have already tested this Circuit with the test driver that each team has and they will be the ones that will report to the driver on what they think of the track surely there is more neon glow to it than with actual track to race in, well the shape of the track layout is really not that inspiring but let just wait next week on what may happen with the race,

I was laughing after seeing your post for sure they are inspired by something while thinking about making the track layout but for sure many are speculating that they have made a track out of the Simsons cartoon instead, but yeah it looks just like it, but for sure there are other things that track was inspired from,

[rdbase]

Yes @YuginKadoya The track does look to favor Red Bull's machines on this layout.

Liberty media who brought F1 racing back to the Las Vegas strip after 40 years surely had some challenges to overcome to have it completed by 2023:

SHOCKING Challenges For Las Vegas GP!

[LTU_btc]

There is another challenge with Las Vegas GP - extremely low temperatures. Maybe it won't be coldest ever F1 race, but most likely coldest in modern era. All sessions will be held at night (qualifying at noon and race at 10 PM local time)and current forecast shows 8-9°C, but it may drop even to 5°C. So, there will be lot of struggle to keep tyre temperatures high.
Also, we in Europe have to prepare to get up early on weekend to watch it because here it will be early morning during qualification and race.

[rdbase]

For this F1 weekend we are going to Vegas and racing on the famous Las Vegas strip for this one for the time since the 80's!

[slaman29]

Famous Vegas strip, cool, so does anybody know why they didn't race there since 80s? I don't want Google or chatgpt answers, I wanna know if any of you are that old lol

Anyway, so many rumors of Ricciardo taking over Perez at RB, I feel like the hype has gone up too much this move WON'T happen. Someone else, or even shock Perez stay

Here is a rather interesting unboxing done by the famous guy at unbox therapy.
I would of posted this video yesterday when I noticed when it was put up on their youtube channel but had to go to work at the exact same time.
So enjoy!

Race in Las Vegas for this week is starting on Thursday for the practice sessions so get your bets in a day prior to the normal scheduled race date on the calendars.
A very interesting documentary to see before the race begins on how they turned the strip into a race track for the F1 circuit!

For me Alfa Romeo has always the best liveries in F1, the colours and the design are really beatifull, sadly the team in terms of performance are not so good.

I dont know what to expect for Las Vegas Gp, because we dont have previous data, and also the drivers is gonna be their first time in this track.

It was really exciting to hear first to have a track in a place like Las Vegas also. Because I thought the atmosphere would be really amazing. The only thing I wished after that was to have a thrilling track in this place. But I'm afraid I don't think that we have such track now. 

I mean that it was built so plain. It doesn't look like a real F1 track to me. But still the atmosphere would be nice I think. Plus we can at least watch a lot of overtakes here. The straights are quite long to do that easily. I hope Verstappen doesn't win by a big gap on this new track also.

I looked this up actually after I read your post because I remember I always liked Sauber from before even from when everyone liked the horse on red

Then it made me smile to see Sauber is actually now Alfa Romeo, used to be BMW and next will be Audi. Sorta shame it's not Sauber but I guess they need the sponsorship money.

Very sad indeed they can't live up, they used to be strong, left Ferrari links, even Red Bull sold and bought their own. Little piece from history I didn't know about.
