In town for race week without a grandstand seat? Watch with a crowd at a Las Vegas venue that shows F1: F1 Arcade Las Vegas at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, Grand Prix Plaza on Koval Lane, the Circa Resort & Casino Sportsbook downtown, Cabo Wabo Cantina at the Miracle Mile Shops or PT's Pub on West Flamingo. The race is Saturday, November 21 at 8 PM local time, with practice Thursday night and qualifying Friday night. Check with the venue that it is showing your session, and its hours and entry details, before you head out.
Apple holds exclusive US rights to Formula 1 from 2026.
