Formula 1 Extends Las Vegas Contract Until 2037

Formula 1 is to race in Las Vegas until at least 2037 after extending its contract with the city by 10 years. The first race in Las Vegas in 2023 was the culmination of 40 years of on and off attempts to secure a race there that incorporated the famous Strip into the track layout. F1 was so determined for the race to become a success that it invested $500m in buying a plot of land in the centre of Las Vegas on which it constructed a new pit building and paddock. Stefano Domenicali, the F1 president and chief executive officer, said: "We are thrilled that Formula 1 will continue racing in Las Vegas for many years to come. "We always believed that Las Vegas would become a cornerstone of our presence in the United States, and this extension, together with the success of recent years, reinforces our long-term commitment to this important market."
