Mika’s Memories
I live in Monte Carlo where the racing around the streets has been going on for almost 100 years, 🫦 and the Casino was one of the main reasons the Monaco Grand Prix ever happened.
Las Vegas is a very different 🫦 place but the background to this race is the casinos, hotels and entertainment industry has decided to partner with F1 🫦 and produce something really interesting. I have looked at the track and think it could be incredible. It certainly looks 🫦 fantastic, and with 6.8kms and 17 corners it’s layout is an interesting combination of high speed straights and low speed 🫦 corners which will give the engineers plenty to consider in terms of optimising car set up.
Going to a new track 🫦 is always a big challenge. No one has any data from previous events, so it’s all down to the quality 🫦 and accuracy of the simulations, and that varies team to team. Even if drivers have been able to practice in 🫦 the simulator, driving on the actual track is always interesting, you soon work out the best racing line and see 🫦 where the opportunities are.
