Formula 1 to race in Las Vegas from 2023

Formula One will return to Las Vegas next year with the race taking place on the famous Las Vegas Strip.

The grand prix will be held on a Saturday night in November, potentially around Thanksgiving, with the track sweeping past some of the city's most legendary landmarks, hotels and casinos.

The track design is 3.8 miles long from start to finish with top speeds estimated to be over 212 mph.

There will be 50 race laps with three main straights and 14 corners, including a high-speed cornering sequence and a single chicane section.

Stefano Domenicali, president and chief executive of Formula 1, said: "This is an incredible moment for Formula 1 that demonstrates the huge appeal and growth of our sport with a third race in the US.

"Las Vegas is a destination known around the world for its excitement, hospitality, thrills, and of course, the famous Strip.

"There is no better place for Formula 1 to race than in the global entertainment capital of the world and we cannot wait to be here next year."
