The Las Vegas Grand Prix of Formula 1, featuring Argentine driver Franco Colapinto (Alpine), will kick off this Thursday. The first free practice session will be held in the evening, with live coverage provided by the Argentine News Agency. This Grand Prix is crucial as it takes place at a decisive moment in the championship. The race will be held on the Las Vegas Street Circuit, which is 6.201 km long and features 17 turns. The inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix was held in 1981 at the Caesars Palace circuit, but that layout was only used once more. The fight for the title is very different this season, as Max Verstappen (Red Bull) does not have the dominance of recent years, and his championship title seems impossible at this point of the season. The championship leader, Lando Norris (McLaren), has a 49-point lead over Verstappen, with only 83 points left to be contested. Another highlight of this weekend in Las Vegas will be the participation of Colapinto, who is having a difficult 2025 with his Alpine team, but his performances have convinced the team's management to confirm him as a reserve driver for 2026. The first free practice for the Las Vegas GP will be on Thursday at 22:30, while the second training session will take place on Friday at 01:00.
