The Grand Prix of Las Vegas was certainly presented to the world with much fanfare and a third race on American soil was expected to boost the country’s popularity. How did the most-discussed race fare in the US ratings?
The first edition on the Las Vegas strip already caused quite a bit of controversy before the race. Max Verstappen, for example, noted that while many teams and drivers were worried about the predicted cold, he felt the entire race was more for show. The start of the race weekend actually went completely wrong, after a manhole cover and a spanner were thrown into the works during the first free practice. This again delayed the start of the second exercise. A false start for a brand new race.
Positive sounds
In the end, Sunday’s race can count on a lot of positive feedback and overall it was a successful weekend. After a thrilling battle at Las Vegas, it was Max Verstappen who held off a charge from Charles Leclerc to emerge victorious. Then, the race can count on good words universally. Some even called the Grand Prix the most beautiful race of 2023. But how did the figures become so heavily publicized in a country increasingly crazy about Formula 1?
Looking at the stats
The race in the desert eventually managed to attract about 1.3 million viewers in the United States, it is known ESPN to inform It was the most watched Formula 1 race since the Canadian Grand Prix in June [1,76 miljoen].
