How to watch the 2023 F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix on ESPN - ESPN

This weekend, Formula 1 will host one of the most unique races of all time: the Las Vegas Grand Prix. This nighttime championship race will take place on the Las Vegas Strip, with potential record-high speeds and record-low temperatures among the challenges facing drivers.

F1 has spent upward of $500 million on the first-ever Las Vegas Grand Prix, which is why it's being described as arguably «the biggest race F1 has ever hosted.» Things got off to a rocky start on Thursday, when the first practice was canceled due to a loose drain cover.
