There’s unlikely to be a trilogy of Components 1 dash races in america within the close to future as Las Vegas organisers have distanced themselves from introducing the format.

Two of the six dash races of the 2024 F1 season have taken place in America, with reigning champion Max Verstappen successful in each Miami and Austin to assist construct a lead on the high of the drivers’ standings.

F1 returned to Las Vegas final 12 months for the primary time because the 1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix, and following the primary race final 12 months that comes with town’s well-known strip, the occasion has added a Ferrari Problem assist occasion for 2024.

The Las Vegas GP has a novel standing on the calendar as the one race immediately organised by F1 itself, which in idea would make it a easy course of to present the occasion dash standing if the will was there.

However, with observe time at a premium on the Las Vegas Strip circuit, making the required alterations to a weekend to accommodate a dash race means it’s not one thing on the agenda for the organisers.

“I feel we’re fairly snug letting Austin and Miami hold the dash, as a result of we have got a lot extra occurring anyway and we’re in a very good place,” stated Chief Working Officer Emily Prazer of Components 1, which immediately promotes the occasion.

“We’re including assist races and hope to proceed doing that over the following few years. I do not assume folks perceive the complexity of this race versus different avenue races, both, and I do assume that the fact is that we’re opening and shutting that observe.

“We’ve got round 46 observe openings that individuals do not realise the complexity of that versus every other grand prix. I feel including a dash would additionally create a nervousness of ‘can we repair the observe if one thing was to occur quick sufficient?’

“The complexity of Vegas versus even Singapore – I used to be in Singapore on the race and chatting to the promoter they usually had been like, ‘we do not perceive the way you open and shut the observe the best way you do’.

“They hold the roads closed for seven days. Are you able to think about us and the council maintaining the roads closed for seven days? It will simply actually by no means occur, ever.”

Sprints had been launched to the F1 calendar in 2021, selling extra overtaking and nearer contests in races over a lot shorter distances than a standard grand prix.

However Prazer believes the on-track motion in the course of the Las Vegas Grand Prix – which noticed 99 overtakes in 2023, probably the most in any F1 race since 2016 – additionally means they don’t have to concern themselves with pitching for a dash race

“The race in itself basically appears like a dash race,” she advised Motorsport.com.

“So if you consider the velocity you are going, from a security standpoint, how briskly is that to how fast the observe is, there would not be an excessive amount of distinction between the precise race and the dash based mostly on the efficiency from final 12 months, we did have a look at it.”
