A huge hello and welcome to The Athletic’s live coverage from round 22 of the 2024 Formula One world championship — and what a round it is, as the circus arrives in Nevada for the second Las Vegas Grand Prix.
We are in the final stretch now with just three races (and a final sprint) remaining of the year, and we are getting very close to discovering the real winners and losers of this season.
Vegas brings the traditional fun of an opening free-practice double session, ahead of qualifying on Friday night (Pacific time) and Saturday night’s grand prix — but today is all about the build-up, as we hear from the drivers and key figures on media day at the track.
We will bring you all the context, color and updates you need to get up to speed ahead of the first action on the circuit, with our reporters trackside and experts watching on.
So stay turned, because we’ve got you covered from here.
