The fans and the drivers have highly anticipated the Nevadan-based circuit of the Las Vegas GP. The track is included in F1 after almost 42 years and is locked in F1 calendars for another decade. Fred Vasseur has addressed the potential difficulties of the Las Vegas GP.

The track is rumored to be around 4 degrees Celsius in the nighttime during the race. This temperature will cause the drivers some major issues with grip and warming up the tires. The race is also supposed to be held at 2 am in Las Vegas, which could cause exertion to the drivers.

Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur has showcased some confidence in F1 over conducting the Las Vegas GP. Vasseur talked about the problems that will occur during the race. Further, he admitted that the entire paddock anticipated a difficult time during the race.

Vegas will be difficult but I think everybody is anticipating that it will be difficult, It will be a night race, conditions look to be very cold. It is a new track with a kind of special layout.

Vasseur said, as reported by racingnews365.com.

The French boss was quizzed about a smooth sailing event at the Las Vegas GP. He answered this question by raising confidence in F1 and added that he trusted F1. The 55-year-old also recalled the Miami GP last year and claimed that it would be somewhat similar to that.

We trust them [F1]. If you have a look at Miami last year, it went pretty well on the racing side, the track was well-prepared and I hope it will be the same with Vegas.

Spectacular activities are scheduled for the Las Vegas Grand Prix

The Las Vegas GP has spent a lot of money to create a grand show for all the fans. The third American race this season will include many references to the Las Vegas culture around the area. F1 has built a chapel in the circuit’s paddock for the fans and drivers to enjoy. This chapel has been built as a reference to the Las Vegas culture for unplanned marriages and quick marriages.

F1 has also leased the infamous sphere in Las Vegas. The entity has spent an astounding $2.3 Billion just for the sphere’s rental cost for the race weekend. As the race will take place around the sphere, Liberty Media’s CEO Greg Maffei claimed that it was an imperative purchase as the sport ran through the land they owned.

Despite the challenges, the Las Vegas GP is one of the most highly anticipated races this season. The fans are excited to see what the Nevadan circuit offers in terms of racing actions to the fans. Regardless of the challenges put forth by so many people, the Las Vegas GP will be an exhilarating race for the drivers to race around.
