With the Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship on a knife’s edge, Ferrari heads to the Las Vegas Grand Prix poised for battle. Trailing McLaren by 36 points with 147 points still up for grabs in the season’s final three races, the Scuderia is determined to pull off a spectacular comeback. Team Principal Fred Vasseur is confident his team has the grit to rise to the challenge under the neon lights of Sin City.


“A High-Stakes Showdown in the Desert”

As Ferrari prepares for the 6.12-kilometre Las Vegas street circuit, Vasseur set the tone for what promises to be a dramatic weekend.

“It’s time for the final triple-header showdown to decide the outcome of this very busy season,” Vasseur declared. “We intend to be fighting at the front, just as we were last year. We know we have the potential to come away with a strong result as long as we ensure we are on top of our game down to the smallest detail.”

The Vegas Grand Prix, with its blistering speeds of 240 km/h and iconic route along the Strip, offers a stark contrast to Formula 1’s unremarkable Nevada debut 42 years ago at the Caesars Palace car park. Adding to the drama are the icy nighttime temperatures, a unique challenge in the Mojave Desert.

“The temperature drops considerably at night,” Vasseur explained. “Getting the tyres into the right operating window for qualifying and the race will be critical. This is a venue where small details will decide the outcome.”


“Ferrari’s Long Wait for Glory”

Ferrari’s hunger for championship success runs deep. The team hasn’t tasted Constructors’ Championship glory since 2008, when Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa delivered the title. Their last Drivers’ Championship came in 2007, with Räikkönen’s unforgettable triumph.

This year’s campaign has kept Ferrari in the thick of the fight, with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz pushing the Maranello team to its limits. As they enter this decisive phase, Vasseur stressed the team’s razor-sharp focus.

“We have prepared well back at the factory,” Vasseur said. “Charles, Carlos, and the whole team are ready to go again, more determined than ever.”


“One Final Push”

The 49-point gap separating the top four teams in the Constructors’ standings underscores the intensity of this year’s hybrid-era battle. While McLaren leads, Ferrari knows that a strong performance in Las Vegas could turn the tide. Vasseur emphasized the importance of seizing every opportunity in the final three races.

“We are confident and know what we have to do to keep the Constructors’ title fight alive,” Vasseur declared.

With its fast straights, sharp 90-degree turns, and the unforgiving conditions of a desert night race, Las Vegas is a fitting stage for Ferrari’s last stand. For a team steeped in history but hungry for modern-day triumph, the stakes couldn’t be higher.


“Will Ferrari Roll the Dice?”

As Ferrari takes on the unpredictable Las Vegas circuit, the spotlight is on the iconic Italian outfit. Can Leclerc and Sainz deliver under pressure, or will McLaren and their rivals edge them out?

One thing is certain: the glittering backdrop of Las Vegas will be the ultimate proving ground for Ferrari’s fight to reclaim its place at the pinnacle of Formula 1.
