All F1 winners from Las Vegas

Formula 1 celebrated its debut on the ‘Strip’ in 2023, but Las Vegas had already existed in the premier class once before. In 1981 and 1982, Formula 1 held its season finale in the parking lot of the Caesars Palace Casino. Although the World Cup was decided there on both occasions, the route caused little enthusiasm. The winners probably felt the greatest enthusiasm in each case: it was Alan Jones in 1981, where at the same time Nelson Piquet won the title fight against Carlos Reutemann. In 1982, Michele Alboreto secured victory and Keke Rosberg became world champion. Last year Max Verstappen won, he had been world champion for a long time.

World Cup stand in front of Las Vegas

Yes, today the World Cup decision can be made at the top. You’ve probably heard that enough by now. That’s why we’re looking back a little further in the World Cup. In the constructors’ championship in this case. Things are still very busy there between P6 and P8. Alpine grabbed sixth position out of nowhere with the double podium in Brazil and could go one better in Las Vegas. But Haas and the Racing Bulls are also in a good position in Las Vegas not to let the French get away so easily. Alpine is three points ahead of the US team and five points ahead of the team from Faenza.

Strategy II

As always, there are a few outliers in the strategy. The further back in the field someone starts, the higher the likelihood of a deviant strategy. The most logical option for this would be to simply turn the race around. So start on Hard and then switch to Medium. Alternatively, Pirelli can also imagine two stops, each with two stints on the hard. This means you could even start on the soft and not necessarily on the medium. But this path will only be chosen by someone who, with the courage of a desperate person, has nothing left to lose – perhaps not even then.

What does the strategy do?

1-stop or 2-stop? That’s the big question in Las Vegas. According to Italian tire manufacturer Pirelli, there is only one correct answer. And this is 1-stop. Pirelli’s F1 boss Mario Isola explained this before the race. The teams are particularly keen on one set of tires, namely the C3. We hardly saw the hardest compound this weekend, and that’s because the teams each saved two compounds for the race. The optimal approach, according to Pirelli, is to wind it up for the second stint after starting on the medium and driving around 14 laps

Alpine on high: Gasly sensation on P3

We haven’t talked much about one of them in the ticker today. Not enough, actually, when you look at the extent of the sensation. Pierre Gasly completely surprisingly placed his Alpine in third starting position in qualifying. How did this come about? You can find out the answer in the linked article.Next Formula 1 big points for Alpine? Pierre Gasly with sensational qualifying in Las Vegas!05:29

George Russell and Carlos Sainz start from the front row in Las Vegas. Accordingly, the two have the best chances of winning the race. If the long runs on Friday are anything to go by, then Ferrari should have the best cards. Sainz’s teammate Charles Leclerc starts from position 4. But it wouldn’t be the first time this year that the race overturned our expectations. McLaren in particular is always dangerous, even if Norris and Piastri start the race from starting positions 6 and 8.

Franco Colapinto is allowed to start in Las Vegas. But only from the pit lane. During the repair work on the Argentine’s Williams, the mechanics had to replace the entire gearbox. That means: both the housing and cassette as well as the drive shaft. These are the sixth units this year, with a maximum of five allowed. A penalty of five starting places is planned for both components, which would be a total of ten places down for Colapinto. At the same time, the cooling channels on the front brake were also replaced, but this was changed compared to qualifying. A parc ferme break that banishes Colapinto from the grid to the pit lane. The only one on the grid who otherwise issues a penalty is Valtteri Bottas. The Finn got a new battery on Friday.Franco Colapinto is allowed to start in Las Vegas: clearance granted after 50G crash in qualifying4:25 a.m

As already mentioned, Verstappen can win the world championship in Las Vegas. So much in advance: If the Red Bull driver and If Lando Norris finishes the way they left on the grid, i.e. in 5th and 6th place, then Verstappen is champion. Easy, even, because Norris is the one who has to make up points. Three in number. The Briton absolutely has to get over the line before the reigning champion if he wants to postpone the World Cup until Qatar. But even then, he should ideally put a second car between himself and Verstappen.
