you’re right. F1 returns to Las Vegas after two years. Let’s hope this time the drain cover issue doesn’t lead to fans joking about hosting a Formula 1 Grand Prix there.
Despite all the chaos of last year’s race, things seem to be going smoothly in Vegas so far. Thursday night’s practice seemed to go without a hitch, so we’ll see what happens with qualifying on Friday.
Here’s a look at some great photos from Thursday’s practice as we look forward to seeing what happens before Saturday night’s race.
