Official 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix Thread ***SPOILERS***

[Piginapoke]

After a mini break we’re off again in Las Vegas. Like it or not, this is where Liberty is taking F1 - a motor race supporting a weekend of money making.

To be fair, it was a good race last year. Max was very naughty in turn 1 which would likely earn him a penalty if he does it again this time.

The circuit should suit the McLaren, but it will be interesting to see how the Red Bull performs in the dry. Max will be WDC if he wins; if not Norris needs to beat him by 3 points to keep the title race (technically) alive.

Main interest for me will be Colapinto and Lawson, who seem to be in a shoot-out for the 2nd Red Bull seat. . I'm going for a Leclerc win- he was great here last year and Ferrari have really got the SF-24 working well on fast circuits with its updated floor.

Here’s to a great race.

Date(s): Friday 22 November to Sunday 24 November 2024.

I unexpectedly enjoyed last year's race there, and added bonus it's the only race in the Americas I can actually watch live! 2PM Sunday here!

I went to Vegas a few weeks ago, the taxi drivers were moaning like fook about the road closures, they shut up when I reminded them they were paid by the mile / time!

Looking forward to the race but I think I’ll watch it later on Sunday!

Vegas taxi drivers complain about absolutely everything.

I think that’s a global phenomenon

Charlie boy for me on this one, max to beat lando too.

Something tells me more stroll being stroll and a disappointing race for Lewis, again. Perez to continue with his form and achieve nothing

Be away for most of it, but think I can muster a 6am wake up on Sunday for it!

Thanks as always Mr Poke

I think a Ferrari 1-3, Norris in the middle and Max in the wall/mechanical failure.
