The upcoming glitzy Las Vegas Grand Prix hopes to usurp Monaco to become the new ‘flagship’ Formula 1 race within its first few seasons on the calendar.
Las Vegas will join the ever-expanding calendar in 2023 as the third race set to take place in the United States. The race is pegged to go ahead on the streets of Sin City during a Saturday night grand prix next November.
The Monaco Grand Prix is heralded as the ‘crown jewel’ of Formula 1 and is firmly embedded within the identity of the sport. The iconic race has been on the calendar since the inaugural Drivers’ Championship in 1950, and is considered to be the ultimate win for all drivers.
