    I wonder if the big storm hitting Southern Oregon and Northern to Central CA this week, will impact on Vegas?

    Weather forecast is all good and clear, maybe two drops Sunday evening but that is a full 24 hours after the race.

    Saturday its supposed to hit a high of 70 degrees! Usually on the Strip a few degrees warmer. Race time at 10PM projected to be 60. Not bad at all. Thursday should be the coolest. Probably 10 degrees less.

    No rain in the forecast. Last year we were hit with a bad storm a few days before with a threat of rain on race day. Very cold.

    Just got a text: Lando Norris will be at the T-mobile signature store on the Vegas Strip tomorrow at 4:45 for an hour. This is the one near Planet Hollywood.

    Hopefully warm enough for Ferrari to get the tires working.

    'Ferrari go full guns blazing for the F1 world title with these updates'


    https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/ferrari-go-full-guns-blazing-for-the-f1-world-title-with-these-updates/ar-AA1uiC9i

    With three Grands Prix to go, Ferrari is going all out to clinch the constructors' world title. For the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the Italian team will introduce a new front wing and chassis.

    According to Autoracer.it, Ferrari plans to test a new floor in Vegas.
    That experimental floor should allow parts for the 2025 car to be tested already with this season's car. Ferrari reportedly wants to use FP1 in Vegas for this.

    Updates for Ferrari in Las Vegas
    The real update is in the new front wing. The new front wing is lighter than the one Ferrari had in Monza. However, the wing used in Monza will be present in Vegas, just in case. In terms of rear wings, Ferrari will choose between the rear wings that were used at Spa and Monza.

    Although Ferrari can no longer win the Drivers' Championship, the constructors title can still be won. Ferrari is 36 points behind McLaren and had a good weekend in Vegas in 2023. Then, Charles Leclerc was narrowly beaten by Max Verstappen in a year in which Verstappen won almost everything.

    This did not seem to be a big issue last year for the tires.

    The F1 tyre struggles expected in Las Vegas' low-temperature winter climate
    Las Vegas' second race since its return to the F1 calendar will once again be held at night, with cold temperatures expected all weekend. This will challenge the engineers to get their tyres into the right window, and thus will take set-up compromises to greater extremes

    Carlos has a new engine from the crash at the last race. I hope they turn it up to kill this weekend. Let him get the win and let Chuck bring some points. I know they want Charles to win, but it's a team race now.

    I was just at Monza - it was way, way , way too hot, and tons too many people. you could barely move. Once we got to the paddock area, the temperature went down by 10F... but still way to many people. I cant believe I'm complaining about it, but it was rough.... and I just had Garden Club passes... during the race you are stuck in side the track. 250 K people on race day!

    F-1 has just left me behind... even with Paddock passes, the hassle of getting in and out just don't seem to justify it ...

    Weird question and sorry if it was somewhere and I missed it - How does access to the entertainment work? Is it just “go to your assigned seat?” (We’re in the T-Mobile area.) Or do we go to a particular concert area before moving to our assigned seating for the race? My date for the race really wants to be there for the OneRepublic concert so just asking a little in advance.

    Maybe I’ll come across one of you guys there.

    These are the Fashion Show mall temp stands on the corner of Sands and the Strip across from Wynn. Great place to see the race.

    Still baffled by the starting time. Great for the fans attending the race, but the rest of the US viewing market? Not so much...

    Chicago, midnight. New York, 1:00AM.

    :(

    What about for us in Europe, F1 's home market?! "Morning" practices at 3:30AM quali and race at 7am...not sure I will bother to take in the race live...

    Plus it feels weird to have your first morning coffee bleary eyed while you see drunken Vegas spectators waving their margaritas and mojitos at the cars:confused::eek::D
