Ever since Las Vegas returned to the Formula 1 schedule in 2023, the race has operated somewhat differently from the other events on the calendar. Firstly, it is the only race directly promoted by the championship and owned by Liberty Media Corporation.
It invested $240million into a plot of land to build its 39-acre pit and paddock complex — Grand Prix Plaza — which is now a year-round, 100,000sq ft tourist attraction. It also took the opportunity to reveal the deal to host F1 through to 2037 with the largest drone display ever seen in Europe.
