Night Grand Prix in Las Vegas in November 2023
After 40 years, Formula 1 returns to Las Vegas in November 2023, but this time on the streets of downtown America – on Saturday night instead of Sunday.
Unlike 1981 and 1982, which took place in the huge parking lot of Ceasar’s Palace Hotel, the third American Formula 1 race – after Austin, Texas and Miami, which is added this year – will pass through all of the American city’s legendary hotels and casinos Gambling in central Nevada desert.
The circuit will be built on the streets of Las Vegas and will include the famous Vegas Strip, according to commercial sports rights holder American Liberty Media, formalizing the agreement with Las Vegas authorities after several months of negotiations.
At the same time, it was agreed to deviate from the classic GP program so that the race will take place on Saturday evening instead of Sunday. Liberty aims to achieve further F1 penetration in the US by broadcasting the Las Vegas GP during rush hour. Hopefully, of course, the struggle will not be met with the utter indifference of the Americans, as it was in 1981-82.
This is the first time since 1985 that an F1 race has been held on Saturday.
Of course for us in Greece the GP starts in the early hours of Sunday morning as Las Vegas is 10 hours behind our country. The course on the streets of Las Vegas will have a length of 6.1 kilometers, 14 corners, an impenetrable huge straight and a duration of 50 laps.
As well as adding Las Vegas to the 2023 programme, Formula 1 has already announced that it will return to Qatar next year to start the new ten-year deal with the Emirati authorities. It will be established as the fourth sporting event in the Middle East after Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi.
Also, China’s GP will return in 2023 after a three-year absence due to the pandemic – as the Asian country is the world’s largest market for Formula One, with around 23 million new cars sold a year. The team’s Concorde deal with F1 limits races to 24 a year, however recently the sport’s CEO, Stefano Domenicali, spoke of increasing the program to 30 GP. How he manages to do that remains to be seen.
This will be the third GP to be held in the United States, following Austin, Texas and Miami, which debut next May.

Red Bull Formula 1 team president Laurent Mekies believes the Bulls will be behind their rivals at the start of the 2026 season, given the production of their engines and new aerodynamic rules.
“We know it will be difficult for us, especially at the beginning of the season. I think we will fall behind our rivals, but we need to hold on for a few more months.”
“I hope we come back to the top, but it would be naive to think that Red Bull will be ahead right away. We will be behind at the start,” said Mekis.
Bulls will produce its engines in collaboration with Ford from 2026.

After several significant personnel changes in the team, Max Verstappen has finally learned who he will be working with in the Red Bull pits for the new season.
At the end of last year, it became known that three key members of the four-time world champion’s headquarters had left. According to De Telegraaf, Jeff Ayton replaced Verstappen’s vehicle control engineer Michael Manning, who left the team after the 2025 season. He has previously worked with other Red Bull drivers and worked temporarily with Verstappen in Manning’s absence last year.
Verstappen’s former engine mechanic David Mart has moved to Audi and his replacement at Red Bull has not yet been determined. Performance engineer Tom Hart is also leaving the team; He will join Williams but will continue to work with the Milton Keynes-based team for a while.
Changes also occurred among mechanics. After Matt Culler moved to the position of Audi’s chief mechanic, Verstappen was replaced as his first mechanic by his twin brother John Culler. He is well known to Max, who has previously held a similar position on the other side of the Red Bull pits, working alongside Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda.
Despite rumors about the winter break, Gianpiero Lambiase will remain Verstappen’s race engineer for another season.

Photos of the allegedly leaked Ferrari F1 team jerseys for the 2026 season have appeared on the internet.
The published photos show a red T-shirt with white inserts.
Ferrari will officially announce its color on January 23. At the same time, some sources reported that the design of the 2026 car should be “pleasantly surprising”.
Given that Ferrari and other teams have used darker shades of their primary colors (red in the Scuderia’s case) in recent years, the introduction of red and white team uniforms could signal a move towards a lighter color scheme.
The same idea is put forward in a video published on the Scuderia’s official account.
