From the moment The Sphere in Las Vegas opened, there was a ton of buzz surrounding it, from the moment every video was featured inside.
And now it will make its presence felt at the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2023. We already saw the F1 image appear on the sphere at the opening ceremony on Wednesday.
So what happens during a race? That’s a good question, especially since it’s what the drivers can see on the track. Per Motorsport.comThere is an agreement that the colours red, yellow and blue are not to be displayed on the outside of the car, in case drivers mistake them for the various instructions given by the FIA using the flag system (for example, a yellow flag means slow down).
What you will see, According to Fox 5 Vegas:This is it:
Sphere has announced that content such as live pole positions and personalized podium moments celebrating the race winner will be displayed on the Exosphere on race day, Saturday, November 18.
“Sphere’s Exosphere doesn’t just complement the Las Vegas Strip circuit, it elevates it to a new level, turning every lap into a captivating experience for fans in attendance and watching on TV around the world,” said Emily Frazier, chief commercial officer for Las Vegas Grand Prix Inc. “Imagine real-time pole positions, thrilling podium celebrations and a dynamic, larger-than-life showcase of all 20 drivers and their iconic cars. We’re thrilled to have Sphere at the center of our race weekend.”
Throughout the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the sphere will be used to show driver introductions, live pole positions, and fans around the track.

Daniel says the sphere is “so visible and huge you won’t miss it,” but he says it’s hard to focus when you’re in that area. He likens it to when you get to your hotel room and you’re so tired you miss the giant piece of art hanging on the wall because you’re so focused on falling asleep
