Inside the F1 Las Vegas launch party!
Спорт
In this video I take you inside the F1 Las Vegas launch party at the fabulous Caesars Palace hotel right on the Las Vegas strip! Join me as I interview Alex Albon, Alex’s girlfriend Lily and Guenther Steiner, and get a glimpse of what it was like to be part of this monumental event!
As fans of Formula 1, we were extremely excited to be part of the Vegas F1 launch party and the incredible Las Vegas GP showrun that included Sergio Perez, George Russell, Lewis Hamilton and even presenters like Natalie Pinkham. I'll also give you a great behind the scenes look at the Vegas F1 track as well the incredible F1 drone show. This video is an amazing look at what goes into staging such an incredible event so for all the F1 BTS info, watch the full video today!

very few people go to every race, he said in another video its only around 20 photographers, so seeing him around all the time, they are sure to get along.
One thing is for sure, this race is gonna be another paradise for Kym to shoot some super-banger photos!
This is the best F1 channel on KZread. Such a great insight into the spectacle of F1. Thanks Kym, for bringing this content to us.

Looking forward to the race next year!. It was also a great to meet you! It was nice to see Lewis, George, Checo, and Alex interact with the fans. Everyone was there having a good time and the drivers really seemed to enjoy it. And this was only the launch party! Next year will probably be insane
Good to see the stig is keeping busy
Big thing about the grandstand ticket prices I think is just that there are way less grandstands than somewhere like Austin. It’s 2 main zones: start/finish straight and turn 2 area, and then the second zone around turn 4/5 by the MSG sphere that they’re building. No options on the strip or final chicane, as I’m assuming all of the hotels are going to have some kind of VIP viewing + room packages, along with hospitality suites
Excellent video Kym. Love the documentary feel with interviewing Alex, Gunther, etc.
@Kym Illman: thank you for sharing this with us. This is as close as most of us will get to the LV Grand Prix as it appears they have priced it out of the range for the average F1 fan.

Austin local here. We want to make the Vegas race but as you mentioned....its out of control expensive for a normal person. Oh well, maybe prices will improve on the next one. For now we'll just keep going to the Austin race.

I love that movie!
😂 I love when Caesar’s Palace has their statue in theme! For EDC 2012 I did a double take at seeing Caesar raving with headphones, glow stick necklace, kandy bracelets while holding daisies. It was the perfect sight to see while arriving into town because it gets you so excited as a beautiful start to the weekend. I had a gut feeling they might embrace it for Formula 1 and boy did they exceed my expectations. That racing Caesar statue is ❤️🔥 sickkk. And who would’ve ever thought they’d be RACING AND DRIVING DOWN THE STRIP!! That’s just insane I can’t fathom it. Even my mom said she wanted to go when she heard about it and she doesn’t even watch F1 lol. (Edc was at the Las Vegas motor speedway, which was kinda far from actual Las Vegas it was a long shuttle/limo/carpool ride there and now I want to look up the history of that track. I just remember thinking how huge it was I mean there was 7 stages and like 300,000 people. Or $200 for a 1-way helicopter ride into the track which I didn’t do. But one of my favorite memories was being at the main stage and everyone starts to look up and you can see these moving streams of fire in the sky and up on the big screens you had a view of what they were seeing, which was us really far away, a camera angled at their face and the fire behind them. I noticed it was 6 Red Bull sky divers and after they jumped out and were falling they had these pyro flames behind them so as they fell above us it was a beautiful display of what felt like a firework ballet. I can’t explain it. It’s always stuck with me and it’s little moments like those they always do that’s added to why I like Red Bull so much. How can you not be a fan when they’ve been a part of some of your best memories?

Looks awesome. Wish I could go. I signed into Ticketmaster early and didn't have my chance to buy tickets until 26 mins after the hour by which point, the only available tickets were $2K for grandstand. Fair to say this race sold out on the primary ticket market in a matter of a few minutes.
A great video, real behind the scenes stuff for sure!

it's insane to think of the ticket prices in other places. And American GP tickets such as Miami and LV seem way more pricer compared to our Aus GP. 2.5K USD can get you into some paddock clubs at the Aus GP but I guess once u factor in cost to run an event at a place like LV it makes sense. Hope the racing is good. A very long straight so keen for a lot of overtaking :)

I do expect it will be a good show and quite the spectacle but will the racing be any good? I’d take a race at Laguna Seca, Road America, or Watkins Glen. I think Miami and Vegas are more about the show than the racing.

These 3 would be awesome to watch, but idk if the current F1 car would be a good race at Watkins Glen, all the braking zones are short in a road car there, it would be insane to see the cars speed through the esses, bus stop literally all of it, but I don't think there'd be much passing, again Id still 100% watch. I also don't think the other two have the proper FIA standards, or for that matter idk what the Glens is either.

Alex was correct about the crowd, drunk and don't care about F1. This is an opportunity to be seen and posted on social media. Crazy prices for the organizers will keep the F1 faithful away just like in Miami. I'd rather see races at some of the old historic courses.

I live in Vegas and this rings true for a lot of people I spoke to at this event. Those of us who have been fans for a while are bummed about the prices, but it was expected given what happened with Miami and DTS. I was explaining plenty of the sport to rich tourists who flew in just to "be at the party" yesterday. A lottery system for regular people to score some tickets would be great in the coming months seeing as the tickets that went on sale were for like maybe a quarter of the track so there's plenty of opportunity for F1 to make it right, but hey, the FIA is just FIFA minus one "F" so no way would they ever not go for more money. Sad.
Last year Miami??? Hahaha
