F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix: Las Vegas Strip Circuit Track Guide

Formula 1 returns to Las Vegas to what is quickly becoming a must-watch event at the end of its calendar.

While the spectacle of the world-famous hotels and casinos down the Strip took the center of attention ahead of its first running, the on-track action has certainly lived up to the hype, and more of the same is expected this year.

Lando Norris enters the first of the final three races of the season off the back of dominant wins in Mexico and Brazil, knowing the fate of his title hopes rests firmly in his hands. McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri will be hoping to hit back in style, though last year's winner George Russell will be expecting another strong showing from Mercedes.
