I don't know if it has been mentioned, but I see they've changed "Paddock" to "Pit Building" for this race due to the negative connotation to the name Paddock...

The word Paddock doesn't even have anything to do with the crazy that shot up Las Vegas in 2017

Even yanks find the idiocy of Liberty Media stupid in this case.

Plenty of overtaking predicted around ‘simple’ Las Vegas circuit: https://www.speedcafe.com/2023/11/15/las-vegas-gp-overtaking-opportunities-williams-alex-albon/

"Alex Albon feels F1 fans could be in for a treat this weekend if his prediction as to what lies in store proves to be correct.

The Williams driver is confident the 6.2-kilometre, 17-turn Las Vegas Grand Prix street circuit, run against an extravagant neon backdrop, will provide plenty of chances for overtakes.

The track features two DRS zones, one between Turns 4 and a sharp right-hander at Turn 5 on the approach to the Sphere, with the other towards the end of the Strip into a tight left-hander at Turn 14, similar to Baku, and the Azerbaijan GP.

“It’s quite a simple circuit in terms of its layout, it’s quite easy to learn,” said Albon. “The track is quite interesting, there are quite a few combined corners, which are not easy for front-locking, which is not great for our car, but that’s fine. The one thing which will be interesting is how good of a job have they done or not with the track, in terms of the roughness and the bumps. In terms of racing, there are going to be a lot of overtakes because, at least from what I have driven, there are a lot of opportunities, a lot of places you can overtake. Although Turn 14 would appear to be the most obvious passing place, particularly given the DRS on the approach, Albon feels it will be Turn 1 that will afford the greater opportunity. ..."

I expect to see Albon in the barrier at some point. This green track is going to be a nightmare I think.

‘We looked like a clown’ – Max Verstappen pans Las Vegas GP opening ceremony​


Verstappen wasn’t at all impressed.

“For me, you can skip this,” said the reigning World Champion. “We are just standing up there, looking like a clown. I mean, yeah…”

Asked if he’d take his complaints to Formula 1’s bosses, he said as per ESPN: “I don’t know, I guess they still make money if I like it or not, so it’s not up to me!

“But I’m also not going to fake it, I just always voice my opinion on positive things and negative things. That’s just how I am.
