There’s so much buzz about The Sphere in Las Vegas after it opened, from the moment it went operational to all the videos inside of it.
And now, it’ll be very present during the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2023. Already, during the opening ceremonies on Wednesday, we saw F1 images show on the Sphere.
So what will be on it during the race? That’s a good question, especially because drivers will be able to see it inside the track. Per Motorsport.com, there’s an agreement in place for the exterior NOT to show red, yellow and blue colors, in case a driver mistakes that for the colors of various instructions from FIA using their flag system (for example, a yellow flag means to slow down).
What you will see, per Fox 5 Vegas, is this:
The Sphere says that on race day itself, Saturday, Nov. 18, content including real-time pole position and a custom podium moment that will celebrate the race’s winner will be displayed on the Exosphere.
“Sphere’s Exosphere doesn’t just complement the Las Vegas Strip Circuit, it elevates it to new heights, turning every lap into a mesmerizing experience for fans in attendance and watching on TV globally,” said Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer for Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. “Picture real-time pole positions, thrilling podium celebrations, and a dynamic showcase of all 20 drivers and their iconic cars displayed larger-than-life. We are excited to have Sphere at the heart of race weekend.”
Throughout the entire Las Vegas Grand Prix, the Sphere will be used to show driver introductions, live pole positions and fans around the track 🚥pic.twitter.com/szyImwd0EL

Daniel says the sphere is “very obvious, it’s huge and we’re not going to miss it” but will be in such a zone he won’t focus on it – then compares it to missing the giant art pieces on his hotel room wall when he arrived bc he was so tired he was focusing on going to sleep 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/9klRNtmFtW
