The organisers of the Las Vegas Grand Prix have stressed they are happy with hosting a traditional Grand Prix weekend, rather than a sprint race weekend. They believe adding a sprint could create a lot of nervousness.

Formula One has no plans to add a sprint race to the Las Vegas Grand Prix schedule in the near future as officials remain “quite comfortable” keeping the format at other events.

Las Vegas Grand Prix organisers have quashed the prospect of adding a sprint race to the city’s high-stakes Formula 1 event anytime soon, asserting that the unique demands of the Las Vegas circuit make the format impractical.
