Mexico City. The organizers of the Las Vegas Grand Prix have ruled out changing the Formula One race to a sprint format.
The 100-kilometer race, held the day before the main event, is intended to provide more entertainment for fans, but the Las Vegas event is already run on a Saturday and last year featured more overtaking than any other competition.
Formula 1 commercial director Emily Prazer told reporters ahead of next week’s second edition of the night race on the famous Strip that the possibility of a sprint was evaluated but rejected.
“I think one of the big takeaways from last year is how incredibly good the race was,” he said of a race promoted directly by F1, owned by Liberty Media.
“We’re pretty comfortable letting Austin and Miami keep the sprint going, because we have a lot to offer, and we’re in a really good spot,” he added.
The United States Grand Prix in Austin (Texas) is held on a circuit built for this purpose, while Miami uses the Hard Rock Stadium complex, owned by the Miami Dolphins of the NFL.
