Start, Las Vegas Strip Circuit, 2024

The Las Vegas Grand Prix will start two hours earlier this year than in previous seasons, the FIA has confirmed.

The governing body of motorsport has issued the starting times for all 24 rounds on the 2025 F1 calendar. Las Vegas is the only round with a different start time for its grand prix compared to last year.

The first race on the Las Vegas Strip Circuit in 2023 provoked some complaints over its late start time, but it was unchanged for F1’s return last year. Now the race start has been moved forward from 10pm to 8pm local time on Saturday 22nd November.

The three practice sessions and qualifying will also be held two hours earlier in the day. First practice will start at 4:30pm instead of 6:30pm and qualifying will now take place at 8pm.

F1 has faced challenges scheduling the Las Vegas race due to the limited amount of time the roads which form the circuit are available for it to use. The new start time means the race will begin at 11pm for viewers on the east coast of the USA instead of 1am on Sunday.

However for European viewers the race will begin at a less convenient hour: 5am for those in western Europe and 4am for those in the UK.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix is the 22nd of this year’s 24 rounds, as was the case last year, when it held the title-deciding race.
