F1 schedule: When is the next F1 race and where is it being held?
03 Nov 2024 3:15 PM

The Las Vegas GP was a huge success in 2023 and is set to feature on the calendar for many years to come.
The F1 schedule has expanded to a record 24 races for the F1 2024 season, with the calendar more packed than ever.
With one dramatic triple-header under our belts after an autumn break, we’ve now rounded the final corner to head into the home straight of what has been a thrilling season so far – and everything is still on the line heading into the conclusion of F1 2024.
Which race is next on the F1 schedule?
Round 22: Las Vegas Grand Prix
To say Las Vegas arrived back on the Formula 1 calendar last season to enormous fanfare would be putting it mildly – because all the stops were pulled out for the occasion.
On a circuit that spanned the city’s streets, rather than the ill-fated Caesars Palace Grand Prix of the 1980s, and with the seldom-seen step of a race that is being promoted by Formula 1 itself rather than local promoters, the entire weight of the sport was behind Vegas’ return being a success.
Despite initial teething problems in practice, few could argue that the race was anything short of drama at a track that produced plenty of overtaking, Monza levels of top speed and huge average speeds throughout the lap.
The stars came out in force (both literally and in terms of celebrities), with a Saturday night primetime race under the lights of Sin City representing a huge leap of faith for Formula 1.
In a city famous for its casinos, it was a gamble that looked to have paid off last year, but how will the difficult second act be when Formula 1 returns? With both titles still very much up for grabs, it’s set fair for another thrilling weekend.

Where is the Las Vegas Grand Prix?
The layout of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit appears on paper to be one of the simpler ones introduced to Formula 1 in recent years – but complicated track profiles do not always guarantee great racing, and Vegas showed itself to have more than enough to be troublesome for the drivers.
Its 17 corners see a variation in profile, with full-throttle bends mixed with the likes of the tricky Turn 6, a left-hander taken at full throttle before a tough braking zone into the blind apex of Turn 7, with the tricky left-right-left of Turns 7, 8 and 9 leaving plenty of lap time available in that area of the track.
Turn 12 sees the drivers take as much speed as they dare through a medium-speed left-hander onto the iconic Las Vegas Strip, where with DRS they reached speeds upwards of 350km/h (217mph) last season, before a hard braking zone into another tricky chicane that sees the drivers fired onto the pit straight once more.
With a spectacular setting and a track that has been built to match, we shall see how the circuit’s story develops in its sophomore year.
