Regardless of complaints from nearly everybody, as was the case final yr, the Las Vegas Grand Prix will get underway at 10 pm native time.
The late race begin was with the intention to have the race televised on Sunday morning in what stays the game’s European heartland.
Nonetheless the transfer backfired for whereas Las Vegas is eight hours behind the UK and 9 behind continental Europe it was too early within the morning to draw a big viewers, whereas on the east coast of America it was the nighttime, and although it was broadcast at prime time in Asia it is not F1’s prime market.
Consequently, the Grand Prix attracted the grand whole of 1.3 million viewers on ESPN within the US, half the quantity who tuned in to the inaugural Miami occasion.
Nonetheless, of their infinite knowledge, organisers – which is F1 itself – have caught to the identical schedule, definitely so far as the race begin is anxious.
The timing of the opposite periods stays a thriller as these have but to be confirmed, as is the case with the Chinese language, Miami, Austrian, United States, Brazilian and Qatar Grands Prix.
At 24 races, the 2024 season sees the return of China and certainly Imola, which was cancelled final yr resulting from localised flooding.
As was the case final yr there are 6 Sprints, and whereas the Japanese race strikes to April the occasion in Qatar, which noticed drivers impacted by the acute warmth, strikes from October to December.
