F1 has gone to great lengths to revive the Las Vegas race, acquiring permission to race on the gambling haven's iconic Strip and taking on the promotion of the race itself, which takes place on 18 November.
It has spent $240 million on a plot of land, where it has erected a permanent pit and race control building and paddock facilities, which is unprecedented.
But the actual street circuit itself is limited to Las Vegas' densely built grid system and is made up of a collection of long straights connected by hairpins, slow 90-degree corners and chicanes, with the only high-speed corners expected to be easily taken flat-out.

The 6.201km (3.853 mile) loop has so far failed to inspire three-time world champion Verstappen. When asked what he's expecting from the race, he replied: "First of all, I think we are there more for the show than the racing itself if you look at the layout of the track.
"But you know, I'm actually not that into it. I'm more like, I'll go there and do my thing and be gone again."
When asked if the racing would be similar to F1's Monaco Grand Prix, he said: "Yes, but Monaco is also just history and the place itself. Everyone wants to have been to Monaco once. You can't really compare."
