This means that all European races will be consecutive from 2026 onwards!#F1 #LasVegasGP

F1 Academy coming back to Miami and new to Vegas in 2025.....
The F1 Academy 2025 calendar! 🤩
— F1 Academy (@f1academy) November 18, 2024
Next season will feature 14 races across seven rounds - all as support races for the FIA Formula One World Championship.
As well as welcoming 3 new venues onto the calendar, we'll run a 15-day testing programme to maximize seat time for drivers… pic.twitter.com/JajWsxL3qn
They almost had to if they wanted to put on the facade of their NetZero2030 campaign of whatever it is called....
Just needed Monaco to relent on the date. Monaco probably agreed with the condition that they don't have to pay the big hosting fees other races do.

Horrendous, horrendous calendar.
Sure they will get exposure, but they need valuable experience. They are driving F4 machinery in places like Miami and Vegas, while other series like Italian F4 and British F4 do rounds in Monza, Barcelona, Silverstone, Spa, which is WAY more useful and valuable because say they actually progress to GB3 or FRECA, they will already know those tracks.
I don't know what is going through their minds, maybe they want more international investments, who knows, but this is not an ideal calendar for an F4 series
Have you heard anything more about f2/f3 having a race weekend in the US???
Too expensive sadly. That's all the drivers say.
The scene is set 📆

This is where we'll be racing next season alongside @Formula2, @Formula3 and @f1academy 🤩#F1 pic.twitter.com/QNW89dyIOd
I was so close to getting tickets to Vegas this weekend.
The Mastercard deal popped up again and I was ready for it this time. It went live at 2am central and I as soon as I hit confirm purchase, I got a notification they were sold out. Bummer
3 day pass with actual grand stand seats for $135 a ticket. I suppose its good to know the tickets went to actual fans since it was limited to two per card holder and non transferable.

its going up again at 8:00AM UTC, 2 AM for us. It dropped early today as well. k
I missed it this morning but you're saying its going up again?
EDIT: I called mastercard and they confirmed what you said. I'll try once more. Thanks for the tip!

a friend just got one mins ago.

that would be great
Thanks!
Here's hoping I have an excuse to buy a last minute plane ticket and an overpriced hotel room for the weekend. I talked to my boss today to let him know I might be needing a last minute PTO.
He basically said he would be offended if I didn't take the time and told me not to worry about it (he's also an F1 fan).

I think I will do Vegas next year. With F1A finale I have a reason to. Was planning on Canada but that's the weekend of Metallica in Houston lol.
I will say it sucks to see COTA as one of the 4 venues (Brazil, Mexico, Japan) with no feeder series support. That being said Mexico and Brazil will likely get regional support from NACAM F4 and Brazil F4.
Only way I will forgive them is if they book Metallica heh

well this i never expected
In case anyone was wondering, the Mastercard deal sold out again last night in less than 10 seconds. I think they were releasing 2 or 3 seats at a time. Thats the third drop in a row like that and they have another one planned for tomorrow morning.
LEGO will release new Formula 1 sets in 2025!

🚨 Helmut Marko confirms Red Bull have brought the wrong rear wing to Las Vegas
— RBR Daily (@RBR_Daily) November 22, 2024
Asked whether they can bring a new one overnight: "No."

Guessing they expected the track surface to have built-in more grip from a year of municipal use, so they went with a low-downforce wing config.

Getting a Sauber Lego for Christmas, would be equivalent to the old school lump of coal
they have the high downforce rear wing, that's why they are so slow on the straightsnumetalbizkitaggie said:

Gotcha. Was only going off of the pic, but I see the comments now.
You mean they can't ship one overnite?? They just gonna roll with the wrong one? That's crazy.
Maybe Elon can help
looks like F1 Academy finally got a teenager in one of their seats. finally. that gives me hope they can get more drivers around that Formula 4 age range like natalia granada from the iron dames
They don't have a private jet they can ship one over with?
"Red Bull "trimmed" the rear wing on the back of Verstappen and Perez's cars between FP1 and FP2, a solution that is nevertheless inadequate in the fight against teams with specific low-downforce configurations."
"The long and the short of it is that Red Bull appears to not have a specific, low-downforce rear wing in its armoury. But why?
Whilst rival F1 teams developed smaller equivalent parts for dedicated races, such as the Italian Grand Prix, the Milton Keynes squad decided against producing a low-drag option - as it has also done in past campaigns.
Like Monza, the Las Vegas Strip Circuit requires a low-downforce aerodynamic approach and it has proved detrimental for Red Bull - even cutting u-shaped groves in the top of the wing has not sufficiently helped.
The cost cap era of F1 mandates tough financial calls and as Verstappen pointed out in Italy, the team ultimately spent the money elsewhere."

Max just jumped to P1 in FP3 so something is working better now.
I hate this Vegas schedule. Should have run a couple hours ago.
I absolutely hate the late start time. Can't believe there is a race that starts this late local time.
Perez doing Perez things. This time it's not ALL on him, but he's not one to make lemonade out of lemons.
Also, I was halfway expecting Stroll to run it into the wall after his team got his car back together to get him out there.
