01 / Verdict

The 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix delivered a steady, strategy-heavy night race shaped largely by cold temperatures and low track grip. Widespread tire graining forced multiple pit stops across the grid, generating a decent volume of overtaking on the long straights as drivers battled fluctuating pace. While control at the front kept major disruptions and lead changes to a minimum, tactical pit windows and mid-pack moves provided consistent action throughout. Overall, it stands as an average, middle-of-the-road grand prix best suited for viewers who enjoy tire management and straight-line slipstream battles.

Race Analysis

Ai Assessment

5.3

An overall score of 5.29 out of 10 reflected a solid if somewhat controlled night under the Las Vegas lights. While George Russell drove a flawless race from pole position to victory and Max Verstappen secured his fourth consecutive World Championship in fifth, the lack of late-race disruption kept the overall rating grounded.

Overtakes Top10

10.0

Passing among the top ten runners was exceptionally lively, earning a maximum score of 10 out of 10 with 37 overtakes recorded. Drivers like Lewis Hamilton charged through the points-paying positions from tenth on the grid up to second, while wheel-to-wheel scuffles between Ferrari, Red Bull, and McLaren kept the front group active.

Top3 Gap

6.5

George Russell crossed the finish line 7.313 seconds clear of his teammate Lewis Hamilton, with Carlos Sainz completing the podium a further four seconds behind. That moderate spread among the top three finishers earned a score of 6.51 out of 10.

Team Variety

Two teams dominated the top step as Mercedes secured a comfortable one-two finish ahead of Ferrari in third. With two different constructors represented on the podium, team variety registered a 7.5 out of 10.

Grid Chaos

Overtakes Total

7.8

The long straights of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit provided ample opportunity for slipstreaming, yielding 62 total overtakes across the field. That strong showing earned a 7.75 out of 10 on the total overtaking dimension.

Unique Tyre Compounds

5.0

The race was run entirely in dry conditions, meaning drivers only utilized the standard dry slick compounds. Without any track dampness to bring intermediate or wet tires into play, this dimension scored 5.0 out of 10.

Tyre Strategy Variety

Teams stayed largely aligned on pit strategy under the cool night sky, relying heavily on standard medium-to-hard stint progression. With minimal deviation from the primary strategic paths, strategy variety scored 5.0 out of 10.

Dnf Factor

4.0

It was a remarkably tidy race for a high-speed street circuit, with only two drivers failing to complete the distance. That low level of attrition resulted in a mild 4.0 out of 10 for the DNF factor.

Rain Factor

0.0

Conditions remained completely dry throughout the night along the Las Vegas Strip. With no rainfall affecting the track surface, the rain factor score stood at 0.0 out of 10.

Race Interruptions
