The old circuit, known as the Caesars Palace Grand Prix Circuit, hosted races in 1981 and 1982. In the first year, Alan Jones defeated Frenchman Alain Prost, while in the following year, Michele Alboreto came out on top. He held off John Watson and Eddie Cheever, who finished second and third, respectively.

This year, the weekend returns, and the race will take place in November. The Las Vegas Street Circuit is 6.120 kilometers long and has 14 corners. With the long straight along The Strip, the expectation is that cars with the most powerful engines will have the greatest chance of winning, though surprises are not out of the question.

On Thursday November 20 the first press conferences are scheduled. One day later, on November 21, FP1 and FP2 will take place. On November 22 it is time for FP3 and later on the day Qualifying hour commences. On Sunday November 23 it will be time for lights out for the Mexican Grand Prix.

The Las Vegas GP can be followed live on GPblog an hour before each session. As with all other Grands Prix, the race will be broadcast live on Sky Sports and F1TV Pro, as well as qualifying and free practice sessions.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix is the twenty-second race on the 2025 F1 calendar – after the Brazilian GP and before the Qatar GP. View the full 2025 F1 calendar here.

In 2025, Formula 1 will once again be broadcast in the UK by Sky Sports. All F1 sessions across the weekend will be available on their broadcasting channel, with live commentary by David Croft and ex-F1 driver Martin Brundle. Sky Sports will also provide pre- and post-race coverage of qualifying and the Grand Prix.

Another option to watch Formula 1 live is through F1TV Pro, the official streaming service of Formula 1. F1TV Pro broadcasts all the sessions from the Las Vegas GP live, and viewers have the ability to choose their preferred commentators as well.

In 2024 Mercedes dominated the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the team’s performance had been majorly inconsistent throughout the F1 season, but they got it together in this event. George Russell has a perfect weekend, converting Pole Position to victory. His teammate, Lewis Hamilton, however, did not impress in Qualifying and started further down the order. The seven-time world champion more than made up for this during the Grand Prix as he climbed up to second. Ferrari came home in third and fourth place, with Sainz taking the final step on the podium. Verstappen only managed a P5, but this did not stop him from becoming a four-time world champion.

Only two races have been held in Las Vegas during Hamilton’s F1 career, and he has not been able to win either one of them. In 2023 Mercedes had a tough time around the Las Vegas Strip Circuit, and only managed a P7 and P8 finish. Last year, the Brit might have had a chance at winning had he not qualified so poorly. Ultimately, George Russell led a one-two finish for Mercedes in the 2024 Las Vegas GP.
