we are back to LAAAAAAAAAS VEGAS, NEVADA this week, (its hard to say without pretending to be bruce buffer),reading i was captivated by the history of Las Vegas, which is similar in size to Glasgow & Dublin. Globally, it's relatively new, having been only founded as a city in 1905, just 4 years after Queen Victoria's death. It didn't begin to develop into the city we recognize today until 1931. By that time, the world had already hosted ten Olympic Games. Las Vegas truly began to thrive after World War II.
I believe we all entered last year with a degree of skepticism, suspecting it would be all style & no substance. The cringe inducing opening ceremony, the drain cover issue that forced fans out of FP2 due to time curfews, & the terrible TV camera shots that need improvement this year certainly didn't help matters.
but once we got to qualifying & the race. i thought it was a bright spot in the most depressing season for 20 years, a circuit with a great challenge, love the huge back straight. cold weather making drivers have to work harder as you have to hunt for the grip & just ask Max verstappen on whether drivers enjoyed the race
Of course, we aren't here solely for F1; however, i could argue that for 3/4 of the races we attend, the locations aren't chosen for their love of F1. They are selected to put themselves on the map or because they represent an important business market for the manufacturers. & for Liberty this is an opportunity they couldn't turn down, to get a race the 1 of world's most visited tourist destination. The self billed the Entertainment Capital of the World was no brainer & if we get races like last yr i can see this turning into a success,
you know what with Vegas repuaution & most of it self billed, with music & gambling what goes under the radar. is arguably they are biggest sporting american city Boxing, NHL, NFL, UFC, WNBA + last years NFL superbowl, all situated in Vegas. then add to that list that NBA & Baseball are on there way in the near future. MLS Highly touted . so F1 is a good fit in that respect
& absoultely love this picture taken from a plane, during the weekend last yr
on this week Max could secure his 4th successive F1 world championship title with qatar & abu dhabi to spare. after all but winning it following that masterful drive in Brazil. Max needs to finish the race 60 points or more clear of Norris, which in simple terms. if max finishes ahead of norris or both retire. he wins & in more complicated terms
