Every Las Vegas Grand Prix F1 Winner

Under the neon lights of Nevada, the Las Vegas Grand Prix has quickly become one of the most talked-about events on the Formula One calendar. Run on the spectacular Las Vegas Strip Circuit in Paradise, the race combines modern F1 speed with the unmistakable backdrop of the Strip’s hotels and casinos.

Although the current event began in 2023, Las Vegas has a longer F1 history dating back to the early 1980s, when the Caesars Palace Grand Prix was held in 1981 and 1982.

Las Vegas Grand Prix Winner: 2023 to Today

The inaugural modern Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2023 delivered exactly what Formula One and the city hoped for: drama, controversy, and a world-class performance from Max Verstappen.

Driving for Red Bull Racing, Verstappen started from second on the grid and had to fight through contact, time penalties, and multiple restarts in a race shaped by safety cars. The low temperatures and slippery surface created unpredictable conditions, forcing drivers to carefully manage tyres on the long Strip straight and heavy braking zones.

Despite the chaos, Verstappen’s composure stood out. He overtook Charles Leclerc late in the race and controlled the final laps to take the first Las Vegas victory of the new era. It was another milestone in his dominant 2023 season and ensured that his name would forever be linked to the rebirth of Formula One in Las Vegas.

In 2024, the Las Vegas Grand Prix produced a different storyline. This time, it was George Russell who mastered the conditions under the lights.

Starting from pole position for Mercedes, Russell controlled the race from the front. Unlike the frantic 2023 edition, the 2024 event unfolded with greater strategic clarity, and Russell capitalised with a clean start and consistent pace.

His margin of victory, over seven seconds, reflected both his control of the race and Mercedes’ improved competitiveness on street circuits. The win marked a significant personal achievement for Russell and demonstrated that Las Vegas rewards precision and confidence as much as outright speed.

By 2025, the Las Vegas Grand Prix had already developed a reputation for high speeds and overtaking opportunities, especially along the 1.9 km Strip straight. Once again, it was Max Verstappen who rose above the competition.

Starting from second on the grid, the Dutch driver executed a measured and strategic race. Managing tyre degradation in the cool desert air, he gradually built an advantage and ultimately won by a commanding margin of more than 23 seconds.

A Race Finding Its Place in F1 History

Though still young in its modern form, the Las Vegas Grand Prix has already produced standout performances and contrasting narratives. From the dramatic and unpredictable debut in 2023 to the controlled mastery seen in 2024 and 2025.

With its long-term agreement in place and a circuit that showcases both spectacle and sporting challenge, Las Vegas is quickly carving out a unique position in Formula One history. As future seasons unfold, the list of winners will grow, and each new name will join Verstappen and Russell in shaping the legacy of Formula One under the lights of the Strip.
