F1 drivers have for the Las Vegas Grand Prix not to take place a week before Abu Dhabi. Some of them raised the issue for the event to be separated from the final two rounds of the 2024 season, which are in the Middle East.
The capital of the UAE is located several thousand miles from Las Vegas. This involves a long journey and crossing a large number of time zones, as well as a logistics nightmare.
Daniel Ricciardo has revealed his shock when he found out that next year’s race in Vegas will be the start of a triple-header, followed by Qatar and Abu Dhabi. The Alpha Tauri driver did not like this at all and called for it to be changed in the future.

“What!? No way! For the future, a change should be considered, because at the end of the season the fatigue is huge”
Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez also agreed with this opinion.
