Why the Las Vegas Grand Prix is a jewel in the F1 calendar

Formula 1 has a new showpiece. No longer is the annual parade through the streets of Monaco the highlight of the season; after only one weekend so far, it is the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Next weekend, the 20 drivers will once again race through the streets of the so-called Sin City, with the legendary Strip as the circuit. Some are horrified by it, others love it. But this weekendc does represent the future of the sport.
