Will Donald Trump be at the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix?
The Las Vegas Grand Prix marks Formula 1’s return to Nevada this weekend, attracting numerous A-list celebrities.
As the season nears its conclusion, the race serves as the opener for the final triple-header, with just three events remaining before the 2024 championships wrap up.
McLaren’s Lando Norris has been a strong contender against reigning champion Max Verstappen, but the Dutchman appears poised to secure his fourth career title.
Verstappen could clinch it in Las Vegas, holding a 62-point lead after his impressive victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
While Verstappen has dominated with eight wins this season, Red Bull has fallen to third in the constructors’ standings.
McLaren, meanwhile, leads the championship thanks to consistent performances and multiple victories from both of their drivers.
This success coincides with a notable visit earlier in the season by Donald Trump, then a presidential candidate, who was dubbed McLaren’s “lucky charm” during the Miami GP.
Now, Trump has found his own success, winning the 2024 presidential election and securing a return to the White House.
With 312 electoral votes, the 78-year-old triumphed in several states, including Nevada, where the Las Vegas GP is taking place.
Trump’s victory makes him the first U.S. president to reclaim office after a previous term in over 130 years. His inauguration is set for January 20, 2025.
Trump is no stranger to Formula 1, having visited the paddock before and sparking debates about whether political figures should be welcomed into team garages.
His previous appearance at a McLaren event earlier this year generated mixed reactions, but it has not deterred F1’s governing body, the FIA, from publicly congratulating him on his election victory.
As of now, it remains unclear if Trump plans to attend the Las Vegas Grand Prix. While no announcements have been made, the possibility of his appearance has not been ruled out.
Given his ties to the sport and his recent political win, his presence at the event would likely draw significant attention.
