The adjustments to cooler weather driving made the strategy a lot more interesting but I'm not sure if it's something they can maintain going forward bc usually it will involved a couple early wrecks while tyres get up to speed.
Overall, Sunday turned out quite well and with some tweaks I'd venture to say this could be one of the highlights of the calendar.
Big question though is, how is attendance and ticket pricing in year 2 once the novelty is gone? If it falls off precipitously, then is the event even worth it considering the massive disruption to the city?
F1 is not a novelty that wears off
Neither is Vegas
So demand will always be high. Next year prices probably won’t start as high so there wouldn’t be a crash
Massive disruption was slightly overblown. And next year there will be much less as most of the one time work has been completed
As a local who lives right off the Strip I can tell you that I might not even have known it was there if I lived in a cave and didn’t happen to walk over there the past few days
