Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, Date, Odds, & Who Will Win

The 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix is on schedule this week, and the fans are gearing up for one of the most exciting season finishes in recent memory. The Sin City circuit is going to be one of the three places where the champion, and many positions down the line will be decided.

As it's known McLaren is entering the race as a team that has won the Constructors' Championship. The team has had the honour to win the title for the second consecutive year. At the same time, both of their drivers are in the title contention.

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are having dream seasons and will be looking to wrap up the season as champions, in front of the biggest competitor in Max Verstappen. While in recent weeks the dogfight was more evened out, thanks to the wins in the last two races, Norris has emerged as a favorite to come home with a championship when it's all said and done in December.

While both McLaren are hoping to be the No1 at the season end, the battle between the two could still be exploited by Max Verstappen who is still in the race for the championship from his No3 position.

The four time Formula 1 world champion is having a fine season, but not a great one by the standards he set both for himself and his team in the past. One of the things that could work in his favour is that he always performs in the USA, as shown by his driving clinic in Austin, Texas.

Verstappen will be looking to make a stunning comeback in the Driver's Championship, and while his Red Bull team is out of contention for the Constructors' Championship, the fight for the No2 position in that category is still on.

Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull will be looking to clinch the much coveted second place in that competition. With only three races remaining, the stakes remain as high as ever coming into the USA Grand Prix.

The Las Vegas circuit is one of the youngest racetracks on the calendar, with this year's race being only the third event held on the streets of Sin City. Last year, the winner was George Russell of Mercedes, while the inaugural race was won by Max Verstappen.

If you want to predict the winner for this year's race, here's some advice on how to bet on USA Grand Prix. Before the race starts, here's what you need to know about the 2025 LV Grand Prix.

The Las Vegas Strip Circuit racing will start on Saturday, November 22nd, 8 p.m. local time (11 p.m. ET). The start will be right next to the now legendary Grand Prix Plaza, which is set on the corner of Harmon Avenue and Koval Lane in Las Vegas.

The circuit is located within the city mostly on the S. Las Vegas Boulevard, while also using parts of Harmon Avenue, Koval Lane and Sands Avenue. It is 3.8 miles long, and was widely accepted by fans as one of the better new additions to the F1 caravan.

When in Las Vegas, do as Americans do. At every major US event, there's ought to be music and entertainment and even more so in a city like Las Vegas.

The entire city will be one big party filled with top DJs and musicians. In addition to the much-coveted F1 race, during the weekend, Las Vegas will also be a home to the Neon City Festival where Good Charlotte, De La Soul, Deadmau5, Breaking Benjamin, Two Friends and Fitz & the Tantrums will perform.

We will not even go into the scene that you'll find at the city's multiple nightclubs, where fans will spend time before and in the aftermath of the race.

As far as the race itself goes, and all the music events tied to the F1 organization, the fans and the crowd attending the race will be catered with the Heineken Silver Main Grandstand, where across the weekend you'll be able to see and hear the likes of Steve Aoki, Louis Tomlinson, Shaggy, and The Power of 3 among many others.

While entertainment is going to be at the highest level in Las Vegas, as we're used to, now's the time to move onto the Formula 1 sportsbook stories, and focus on the eventual winners of the upcoming race.

It is never easy to predict a winner when it comes to F1 racing. Not even this late in the season. Yet, if we had to take a guess today, and we do, it appears to be clear that the safest bet is to put your money on Lando Norris. The Englishman has proven that he has a knock on taking wins home from the Americas, and he has sown as much in both Mexico and Brazil.

He only needs one win to win the title, and he will without a doubt be looking to take it as quickly as possible. The best part about Norris's odds is the fact that he is not the top bookmakers favorite to take this one home. With his odds being set at +250 you could take a win home too, if you heed our advice. The motive to take home a title is a big one for every driver, but we also need to remember that Norris is not the only one in the race for Driver's Championship.

The bookies believe that the one that could ruin the Englishman's plans is none other than Max Verstappen. The Dutch legend has his Las Vegas odds set at +175 making him the first favorite to take home a win from Sin City. Verstappen was impressive at the Sao Paolo Grand Prix, and he has all the tools to make the best out of the LV circuit.

Of course, he needs Red Bull backing, as both the driver, his teammate Yuki Tsunoda and the entire Red Bull organization need to be at the top of their game to make Max a 5 time world champion.

Next to these two, we have the championship's dark horse in Oscar Piastri. Oscar has done everything right so far this year, and all he needs is a tad bit of luck, and a major slip from his teammate, Lando Norris. The bookies believe he can do it, but are not too convinced, with his odds being set at +800.

If you ask us, he's as good as both men we've listed as favorites for the Las Vegas Grand Prix. With better odds, we're sure the Australian driver will find himself on plenty of betting slips in Las Vegas. The issue that puts Piastri behind Max and Lando is the fact that he is the least experienced of the three, and that he needs to win this race to remain competitive in the title competition, adding a slight dose of pressure to him on top of everything else.

Another issue is his poor form, as we haven't seen him on the podium since he was at the top of the world at Zandvoort. If he ends his poor podium streak here, we could be in for so much fun in the last two races of the season.

While we've singled out the three divers above, no one should be looking past George Russell of Mercedes either. Russell has won one of the two previous Las Vegas races, and has performed fairly well in the second one.

His odds reflect his status in the Sin City as according to bookies he has better odds than Piastri. George's odds are set at +400, and it is evident that the bookies believe that he can make strides on the Las Vegas Boulevards.

The same goes for his teammate Kimi Antonelli. Both drivers are seen as being able to perform in Las Vegas, and under the right conditions, we could see them both making the title race more fun, while also adding the much needed spark in Mercedes' attempt to finish second in the Constructors' Championship.

Antonelli's odds are set at +1000 and while he is not your usual suspect for the No1 position, the Italian driver has been actually driving better than his teammate in recent months. The rookie has finally found his footing on Formula 1, and he will try to make the most out of the next three years as a prelude to what might be on the schedule next year for both himself and Mercedes.

It is always good to have the matter of the champion unresolved with three rounds to go, regardless of the sport. The F1 caravan delivered on that not this season, with three drivers being in the race for the Driver's Championship.

While the bookies have Max Verstappen as a slight favorite, we would put our money in Norris's basket as the Brit showed in recent weeks that he is driving at the top of his game, and the fact that a win in Las Vegas would make him a champion on the day will prove to be an enough motive for Lando to win. If you're looking for a dark horse win, our eggs would go into the Piastri/Russel basket.

You're in for a surprise here. It's the cold weather. That's right, the temperature drops quite low during November in LV, especially on windy nights such as the one expected on Saturday. The desert is hot, but only during the day.

When night drops, the temperatures can get quite frisky. Because of this, the tires of the F1 bolids are sometimes quite slow to wake up. For many drivers, this is not an easy perk of the race to overcome and many struggle in the opening laps, which could lead to a few surprises in the positions once the tires get hot.

Add the fact that we've also had rain during the week, and you get some peculiar weather conditions for the race with the biggest stakes at this stage of the calendar.

The weather forecast is quite interesting entering the weekend. It is estimated that on the night of the race, the temperature will drop below 50 degrees, which will make the Las Vegas race one of the coldest of the year.

Many people are surprised by this information, but when you know that most other races are held in mid-60s to mid-80s as far as degrees go, Las Vegas gets the distinction of being the coldest race on the F1 schedule this season.

For many drivers, this makes the Las Vegas circuit so much more fun, as the first few laps of the race feel more like winter tire testing than a race on the F1 calendar. With the stakes being as high as they are this time around, the desert air, cold weather, and a title race for the ages are an ideal recipe for your Saturday time well spent.

The Las Vegas F1 Grand Prix is almost upon us, and as we're used to, all cards are still open. While the Constructors' Championship race was won by McLaren, the fight for the spot No2 is still wide open, and more than a few teams will be fighting for it.

At the same time, Verstappen, Norris, and Piastri will be trying to get their hands on another win, in order to make the title race last beyond the LV race. With the cold weather announced, this race could bring more than a few surprises our way, and we're all for it.

Lando Norris could clinch the title with a win in the USA, and he is our, while not betting, favorite to win this race.
