[Saba Sports News] The F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix brings Formula 1 racing to the dazzling streets of Sin City, becoming a spectacular nighttime event. This unique race starts at 10 PM local time, much later than typical Formula 1 races, primarily to align with the city’s reputation for nighttime entertainment. Las Vegas comes alive at sunset, and the Grand Prix takes full advantage of this vibrancy, with car lights reflecting on the track surface against a backdrop of a brightly lit cityscape, creating a visually stunning experience for both live audiences and television viewers. Additionally, holding the race at midnight allows F1 to attract a broader international audience. It meets European viewers’ needs by allowing them to wake up around six or seven in the morning for coffee while watching the race; it also enables local fans to watch after work, maximizing F1’s global viewership. In response, some fans expressed great anticipation for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, noting that nighttime racing allows viewers to experience F1 racing under neon lights, creating a unique race atmosphere.
