It was the spectacular opening ceremony of the F1 Las Vegas GP: Super Bowl-style festival

Date:

Don’t know how the experiment will turn out. F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix this weekend, that is, the result of carrying the F1 on an urban track, open to traffic during the day, which can have very little grip and become a real skating rink for drivers due to the cold temperatures expected at night in the middle of the Nevada desert, something that was not thought of anyone in mid-November. The truth is that the main purpose, the ‘show’ that comes with racing, is more than assured. Not only because of all that ‘Sin City’ has to offer GP attendees, they all pay big bucks to attend. But also for the great show created by F1, which came out in Las Vegas in the purest Super Bowl halftime show style with a welcoming ceremony worthy of one of the biggest events in world sport.


In the ceremony this Thursday (Wednesday night in Las Vegas), the small straight where the pits and two large stands are located, permanent facilities for an event that has so far signed a contract with F1 for the next 10 years, it’s been the closest thing to a music festival where you’ll pay a big ticket.

There, along that stretch, there were several large blocks with screens and lights where all kinds of music stars appeared by elevator, starting the show by performing 30 Seconds to Mars, followed by Keith Urban, Andra Day, Kylie Minogue, Blue Man, Bishop Briggs, Journey, with their vocalist Arnel Pineda before Steve Aoki arrived, where the festival of lights rose 7 blocks located on the track. Then came Balvin and Tïesto, who would end his performance by laying the groundwork for John Legend’s ‘All of Me’ on his mixing board. And behind him, Will.i.am sings Let’s Go in front of dozens of dancers located on the asphalt, with checkered flags signaling the start of the GP and the subsequent departure of the drivers from the stage .

The event of the pilots is a mass bath. They were introduced to each team, one by one, like boxers in search of heavyweight belts in a Las Vegas ring.

The celebration is worthy of the size of an event in which F1 has invested more than 500 million dollars. There has been much talk of dropping hotel prices and reselling tickets, with prices lower than expected in recent weeks. But for now, the stands for this opening ceremony are full, shaking with a ‘show’ that did not leave anyone indifferent where there were also drones drawing the typical Las Vegas welcome logo and fireworks to conclude brighter than before brilliantly. hotels and casinos that dominate the famous Strip.

After that, the focus should shift to cars. There, the doubts are greater.
