F1 and the FIA (International Automobile Federation) have agreed to ban the MSG Sphere and the colors yellow, red and blue to avoid distracting drivers during the Las Vegas Grand Prix action. The LED screens at the Sphere in Las Vegas will remain active on the circuit during F1 events, but every effort will be made to ensure they do not distract drivers.
It has been agreed that trackside light panels will not display anything that could be misunderstood, particularly the red, yellow and blue colors sought by drivers. As previously reported, Irish rock band U2 will suspend their acclaimed residency at the city’s newest venue until December 1, as the F1 outfit leases the Sphere and surrounding land for the duration of the event. Ta. F1 was keen to include the Sphere as part of the background of the track from the start of negotiations, even though it was not yet complete at the time the layout was agreed. The structure, known as the Exosphere, has the world’s largest LED screen on its exterior and is open 24 hours a day. To recoup its investment, F1 sold advertising space as part of event sponsorship packages, as well as dedicated promotional spots. The Sphere is so visible from the cockpit of the car that there have been concerns that it could be a distraction for drivers, but Sphere’s owners have been working with the FIA and F1 to ensure that the Sphere is highly visible from the cockpit of the car, and that Sphere’s owner is working with his FIA and F1 to ensure that the Sphere is highly visible from the car’s cockpit. We have tried to avoid problems that arise. Joel Fisher, MSG Entertainment’s executive vice president of marquee events and operations, who is responsible for Sphere’s contract with F1 events, said every effort was made to avoid any issues. “Everything is safe,” Joel Fisher said. “They came here at night and tested different colors and different things there. And we know what not to show. We have a showrunner who does all that.” Asked if it would be shown, Joel Fisher said: “There will be some live footage. There will also be live footage, helmets, driver cards, advertising and other surprises.” Liberty Media chief executive Greg Maffei said last week that F1 would make further use of Sphere in the coming years. “We have a long-term relationship with Sphere and I think we’ll be introducing many more programs,” said Greg Maffei. “The combination of not knowing whether the Sphere would be completed and the fact that we were so busy trying to get it done ourselves made it difficult to put together this year’s program. I think it will happen.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by F1 Las Vegas (@f1lasvegas)
