Why Formula 1 Might Actually Be Worth the Hype

The moment that locals have been dreading all year is finally here: Formula 1’s Las Vegas Grand Prix. While the actual race cars hit the Strip this month, the city has been under construction to prepare the 3.8 mile track and other infrastructure for most of this year and the traffic just keeps getting worse. Locals and city officials have voiced their complaints so much that it’s hard to believe that anyone is excited for the 3-day takeover. Since it’s coming no matter how much we complain, host Dayvid Figler sits down with The Nevada Independent reporter and F1 superfan Jacob Solis. He shares why he’s excited to see his hometown take on F1 and how other locals can get excited.
