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.

What does a Paddock Club ticket to an F1 race get you? An inside look
Experience a race weekend like a one percenter
The entrance to the Paddock Cub at COTA

Unless you happen to be close to someone who owns a Formula One team, or a major sponsor, then a weekend in the Paddock Club may be as good as it gets. In most cases, you’ll watch the race from right above the pit lane, rub shoulders with celebrities, and have a level of access far beyond what the folks in the grandstand will get. On the flip side, you’ll certainly pay a premium for all of this.

Formula One is an expensive day out no matter what you do. Flights to a host city are going to be more expensive the week of the race, hotel rates will be through the roof, transport to and from the track will likely set you back a good amount. So if you’re blowing a fortune anyway, why not go all out with it? Here’s what a Paddock Club pass gets you, based on my recent experiences in Austin.
It’s not all about the view

F1 World Championships are on the line at the Las Vegas Grand Prix
The Las Vegas race could tie a ribbon on Verstappen's fourth Championship

F1 Red Bull driver Max Verstappen could wrap up the 2024 FIA Formula 1 World Drivers' World Championship at the November 21 to 23 Las Vegas Grand Prix, but McLaren's Lando Norris still has a slim chance at winning the title. McLaren and Ferrari are leading Red Bull in the Constructors' competition.

As the 2024 Formula 1 schedule draws to a close, the Drivers' World Championship and the Constructors' World Championship are still undecided. This late-season contention contrasts with the beginning of the calendar when, after seven wins in ten races, it seemed that Red Bull driver Max Verstappen and his team would dominate, as they did in 2023.
The F1 World Drivers' Championship
Verstappen's Championship points margin over other drivers from the beginning of the season, his recent podium finishes and the Sao Paulo Grand Prix victory don't entirely rule out anyone else winning the Drivers' Championship.

Newbies to F1 and lifelong fans will learn and enjoy this book
Will Buxton's An Illustrated History of Formula 1 Grand Prix book cover.

Are you following F1? Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to Grand Prix racing, Will Buxton's Grand Prix: An Illustrated History of Formula 1, published by Ten Speed Press, should be on your bookshelf or shopping list. There are many informative books about F1 racing, but Buxton's superlative volume is an F1 primer, a reference, and a collection of driver profiles at the top of their sport.
Why Grand Prix is important
Formula 1 is an elite, exciting motorsport with ten teams and 20 drivers who race in major cities worldwide. The 2024 season has 24 races, the most in F1's 75-year history, but only three remain. The driver and team Championships competitions remain undecided as the season nears its end.

The rapidly growing interest in F1 racing is due in no small part to the Netflix series Formula 1: Drive to Survive. Will Buxton, the series' primary commentator, is also part of the broadcast team for F1 TV, the official Formula 1 streaming service.
