Formula announced the headliner entertainers for the 2024 F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, which will be held from November 21 to 23. World-class performances during this year’s Formula1 Grand Prix include British electronic music duo Snakehips, American record producer, rapper, actor Big Boi, and global multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Vandelux. The musical talent will perform on the Heineken Silver Sstage in the East Harmon Zone by Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

Why F1 features entertainers during motorsports events

The Superbowl half-time show and Formula 1 racing are two of many major sporting events that incorporate top international musical performers to add to the excitement and spectacle. Las Vegas, in particular, bills itself as the world’s entertainment capital.

With more than 300,000 paid attendees at most F1 races worldwide, Las Vegas is equipped to keep F1 fans engaged and entertained during the entire F1 weekend event, starting on the Thursday night before Friday’s FP1 and FP2 free practice sessions. Many ticket packages for F1 races include race events, food, beverages, top entertainment, access to drivers in various formats, and more.

All teams will have pre- and post-race events starting Thursday night through Sunday evening, but the entertainment lineup is a huge draw. This year, the Heineken Silver Stage is close to the race circuit start and finish line near turns 1 to 3, which is also central to F1 interactive fan zone activations in many forms. All F1 drivers will participate in on-stage activities such as Q&As and autograph sessions during the four-day period.

Access to the Heineken Silver Stage to attend the musical performances is included in a range of F1 Las Vegas experience ticket packages, including the Wynn Grid Club, Papi Steak Garage, Ramsay’s Garage, Paddock Club, Skybox, Turn 3 Club, and the Heineken® Silver Main Grandstand. All fan activations in East HarmonZione by Virgin Hotels Las Vegas will also include admittance to the silver Stage.

Ferrari takes 10-place starting grid penalty in F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Without the new battery Ferrari couldn't race

Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles LeClerc will have to start ten places back in the 2024 F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this weekend, December 6 to 8. Because Abu Dhabi is the final race of the 2024 F1 season, this development likely ends Ferrari's chances of winning the 2024 F1 Constructors' Championship.

During Friday's Free Practice 1 (FP1) session, Leclerc could not start immediately because his car needed a new battery, which exceeded the driver's energy storage allocation for 2024. Ferrari installed a new battery, and the result is that, regardless of the starting position he earns during Saturday's Qualifying event, Leclerc will have to start ten places back in Sunday's Grand Prix.
Why does Leclerc need to start ten places back?
The FIA F1 World Championship Rules and Regulations consist of three parts: Sporting, Technical, and Financial. The provisions have three purposes: safety, competitiveness, and fairness. The last point refers to the FIA's concerns about wealthier teams taking over the motorsport. The teams are limited to a spending cap, a fixed amount of money they can use to operate the team for an entire season.

I was fortunate to be one of a small group of journalists invited to experience firsthand how Las Vegas transforms for Formula 1 races. I watched the F1 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix from the best track view locations and attended exclusive events hosted by the top hospitality venues.
