After the excitement of the Brazilian Grand Prix, Formula 1 heads straight to the glittering lights of Nevada for the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Below you can find the complete schedule of session start times for the upcoming race weekend on the spectacular Las Vegas Strip Circuit. Get ready for another thrilling round as the championship action returns to the United States.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix takes place on the Las Vegas Strip Circuit, a street layout that cuts right through the heart of the city. It provides stunning views of the world-famous hotels and casinos along the Strip. The circuit is known for its combination of long, high-speed straights — ideal for overtaking and top speed — and slow, technical corners that put both drivers and car setups to the test. Achieving the right balance between aerodynamic efficiency and traction is essential to succeed on this unique track.
In the 2024 edition, Mercedes driver George Russell claimed victory ahead of his former teammate Lewis Hamilton, who finished second. Ferrari showed strong pace under the bright Las Vegas lights, with Carlos Sainz taking third place and Charles Leclerc crossing the line in fourth position. Max Verstappen completed the top five, already confirmed as the previous season’s world champion at that stage.
