The event will be held at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit in Paradise, Nevada, for the second time in the circuit's history, across the weekend of November 21–23.[3] The Grand Prix will be the twenty-second round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship and the second running of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.[4]
Going into the weekend, Max Verstappen leads the Drivers' Championship with 393 points, 62 points ahead of Lando Norris in second, and 86 ahead of Charles Leclerc in third. McLaren, holding 593 points, enters this round as the leader of the Constructors' Championship from Ferrari and Red Bull Racing, who are second and third with 557 and 544 points, respectively.[5]
World Drivers' Championship leader Max Verstappen has an opportunity to secure his fourth consecutive title at this event. At the conclusion of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, there will be two races left in the 2024 Formula One World Championship. With the following Qatar Grand Prix featuring the sprint format, 60 points are available in the final two rounds of the Drivers' Championship. Lando Norris would therefore have to outscore Verstappen by at least three points to retain a mathematical chance of winning the title.[6][a]
Verstappen will be World Champion if:
If none of these criteria are met, Norris would retain a mathematical chance of winning the title.[7]
The drivers and teams are the same as the season entry list with two exceptions:[8] Franco Colapinto, who replaced Logan Sargeant at Williams from the Italian Grand Prix onwards, and Liam Lawson, who replaced Daniel Ricciardo at RB from the United States Grand Prix.[9][10][11]
Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the C3, C4, and C5 tyre compounds (the softest three in their range) designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively, for teams to use at the event.[12]
Three free practice sessions were held for the event. The first free practice session was held on November 21, 2024, at 18:30 local time (UTC–8),[1] and was topped by Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes ahead of his teammate George Russell and Lando Norris of McLaren.[13] The second free practice session was held on the same day, at 22:00 local time, and was topped by Hamilton ahead of Norris and Russell.[14] The third practice session was held on November 22, 2024, at 18:30 local time, and was topped by Russell ahead of Oscar Piastri of McLaren and Carlos Sainz Jr. of Ferrari.[15]
Qualifying was held on November 22, 2024, at 22:00 local time (UTC−8).[1]
