Formula 1: 2024 Las Vegas qualifying updates, full starting lineup
By Asher Fair
Formula 1 made its long-awaited return to the streets of Las Vegas, Nevada with a race at the new Las Vegas Strip Circuit last season, and it did so with the first Saturday night race in nearly four decades.
This year's Las Vegas Grand Prix, which is scheduled to be a 50-lap around the 14-turn, 3.8-mile (6.116-kilometer) temporary street circuit, is the third Saturday night race (local time) on the record-breaking 24-race 2024 Formula 1 schedule.
Last year's race was not won from pole, and it was one of the few races which Red Bull's Max Verstappen did not dominate. However, Verstappen still prevailed after starting on the front row alongside Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, whose baffling late-race strategy call from the pit wall proved costly.
Though many anticipated a relatively dull race on the tight city streets, despite all of the hype the event had generated beforehand, last year's Las Vegas Grand Prix ended up being one of the most exciting races of the year, with the lead having changed hands six times between three drivers. Only the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas saw more lead changes in 2023.
