Las Vegas GP: When to watch Practice, Qualifying, Race, and the Opening Ceremony

The Las Vegas GP is set to become the biggest global event on the calendar. However, there are a lot of changes to the Formula 1 schedule as we know it.

Formula 1 and Liberty Media are hell bent on making the Las Vegas GP a resounding success. As Formula 1 takes over the iconic Las Vegas strip, it is less than 1 week before the big event. Along with a ton of new things in Formula 1, the race will also have a new schedule. The race will take place on a Saturday night, which means the entire race weekend will shift a day ahead. Will Max Verstappen win at yet another new track? Let’s find out.

The Opening Ceremony

The Opening Ceremony of the Las Vegas GP will be a lavish event. It will be held on November 15 in Vegas and will have all 20 current drivers in attendance. Music stars like Steve Aoki, Keith Urban, Swedish House Mafia, J Balvin, Thirty Seconds to Mars, and will.i.am will be present as well.

The Las Vegas GP opening ceremony will be on from 9 am on November 16 in India. Max Verstappen will attend the weekend hoping to extend his record of most wins in a season to 18. The Las Vegas GP will not be a straightforward race at all.

Time Differences

India is 13 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Las Vegas. Therefore, the Las Vegas GP local timings will be very different from the timings in India. Since it is a night race, Indians will be seeing the race in the morning.

Like all the Formula 1 races this year, the Las Vegas GP doesn’t have an official broadcaster in India. Therefore, Indian fans have no choice but to watch all of the events on F1TV.
