F1 has confirmed that the Las Vegas GP will be staying on the calendar until at least 2037 after agreeing a 10-year extension.
The race held in the state of Nevada has been well received since making its debut in 2023. Max Verstappen has been victorious on two occasions, with George Russell coming out on top in 2024. That was also a memorable day for the Dutchman as he sealed a fourth Drivers’ Championship.
Last year, both McLaren cars got disqualified in what could have been a fatal blow to their hopes in the Drivers’ title battle.
With all races held in cold conditions, it has led to some cracking racing. Plenty of overtakes have come. The track layout has helped as well.
Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of F1 on the extension of the Las Vegas GP to 2037:
“We are thrilled that Formula 1 will continue racing in Las Vegas for many years to come. Since its debut in 2023, the event has been extraordinary, rapidly establishing itself as a premier destination for great racing, world-class entertainment, global business leaders, A-list celebrities and influencers.
“It has delivered a strong and lasting impact on the local economy and community. We always believed that Las Vegas would become a cornerstone of our presence in the United States, and this extension, together with the success of recent years, reinforces our long-term commitment to this important market.
“I would like to thank Las Vegas Grand Prix, Clark County, and the LVCVA for their continued support, passion, and vision. The future is incredibly exciting, and we look forward to taking this event to even greater heights.”
Emily Prazer, President and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. said:
“Securing a 10-year extension through 2037 is a defining moment for the Las Vegas Grand Prix and a reflection of the strength of our local partnerships.
“I’m incredibly proud of the team we have built in Las Vegas and of our shared commitment to supporting the Southern Nevada community. We’re deeply grateful to the Clark County Commission, LVCVA, our resort partners and the broader Las Vegas community for their continued collaboration and support in bringing this event to life.
“Las Vegas is unlike anywhere else in the world, and its energy, hospitality, and scale have played a major role in shaping what this race has become. This long-term extension allows us to continue delivering a world-class experience for our fans.”
Steve Hill, President and CEO of LVCVA, said:
“Extending our partnership with Formula 1 for the next decade is a major moment for both Las Vegas and the Grand Prix.
“In just three years, the race has become a signature global event – putting Las Vegas at the center of culture, competition, and entertainment during race week. As the spotlight of the world turns to Las Vegas, the event continues to reinforce our evolution as a premier sports and entertainment destination. Built for spectacle and designed to host the world’s biggest moments, Las Vegas is proud to continue this dynamic partnership with Formula 1 for the next decade and beyond.”
