The most spectacular F1 Grand Prix.  Street racing, neon and heat in Vegas

Formula One has become increasingly popular in the United States in recent years, and the current season includes three races in that country. Stages in Miami and Texas have already taken place, but the last and most spectacular grand prix remains: the Vegas Grand Prix.

It will be a street race, which becomes a problem for the organizers. Part of the journey will take place along the famous Las Vegas Boulevard, where popular restaurants, shops and other entertainment venues are located. F-1 had to try very hard to reach an agreement with them (not for free, of course) and close the race for three days.

Formula 1 even had to apologize to local residents for the inconvenience caused during the organization of the race. But people should be pleased with the economic impact: The phase is expected to bring $1.7 billion into the local economy.

The street racing itself will be extremely fast: the simulators will show speeds at the level of the fastest track of the championship in Monza. The 6.1-kilometer track consists of 17 bends and three long straights. Most of the route runs along the real roads of Vegas, where special asphalt for Formula 1 needs to be laid. F1 purchased some of the land allocated for the track from its owners for 240 million dollars.

One of the highlights of the track will be the massive MSG Sphere arena, which only opened in September. The cars will zip through the $2.3 billion entertainment and music arena. Naturally, such an event needs to sparkle, flash and sparkle with neon lights, so the race will be at night. Ukrainian spectators will have to get up at 10:00 to watch the qualifying and the race will start at 08:00.

Of course, Red Bull is considered the favorite for the race, but the current cars will be testing this circuit for the first time, which opens up the possibility of unexpected results, as in Singapore, where the Bulls allowed their rivals to win. for the first time this season.

The weather must be an interesting factor. The Vegas Grand Prix may be one of the coldest races in F1 history. Temperatures are expected to be between 10 and 13 degrees Celsius throughout the race weekend. Pirelli has introduced the softest tire sets that will warm up faster. Warming up tires is considered one of the biggest problems of drivers before the race.

The coldest race in Formula 1 history took place in Canada in 1978, where the temperature dropped to +5 degrees.

The season finale and Monaco’s failure will be shown. Where are the most overtakes in F1?

The Formula 1 2025 season was full of competition and transitions. Although fewer in number than last year and fans and drivers not always able to enjoy the action on track, there were still plenty of genuine overtakes.

On some routes there were very few, as expected. The fewest overtakes took place in Monaco; There were only four overtakes during the entire race. And most of them were at the season finale, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – 60th.

Below is the exact number of actual overtakes on each stage; this number does not take into account position changes on pit road during the first lap as the driver exits or exits the track. The chart only reflects actual overtaking on the motorway.

VIDEO. Mercedes leader at a loss for words because of Leclerc’s behavior

Mercedes driver George Russell received a rather unusual Christmas gift from Charles Leclerc as part of Secret Santa.

The Briton received a chart showing his overtakes at the Dutch Grand Prix, arguably one of the most exciting moments of the season.

After unwrapping the gift, Russell said: “Look at him. He’s such a nice guy. He can only overtake illegally, so that’s all he has going for him – taking people off the track. I’m speechless to be honest.”

When asked if he wanted to wish Leclerc a Merry Christmas, the British driver playfully added:

“He doesn’t deserve this. Maybe I’ll give him another photo of Kimi knocking him out of the race and remind him of what happened a few laps later. Thank you Charles. Thank you for nothing.”
