So what is your prediction?

This track has long straights from which the Las Vegas strip is one of the longest on the calender.
And as this is a street circuit, it might be a bit bumpy.
My prediction is that cars that have good aero, a good floor will be fast here. So a track favouring RB, McLaren and maybe Williams.
Not so good for Mercedes and AlphaTauri I think.
However due to potential cold temperatures during the race in the evening, it's hard to predict how certain cars will suffer from tyre deg etc.
It will be interesting because this track is new and different in many ways from most tracks.

My prediction:
1. VER
2. NOR
3. PER
4. PIA
5. LEC
6. ALB
7. SAI
8. ALO
9. HAM
10. RUS

I hope they get some good camera angles. Seeing the F1 cars at night with the casino's colourful background scenery should give some spectacular views.
That is for me part of the appeal of street circuits. That is why I like Monaco and Baku. Racing right through majestic cities where you get a real feel for the city. This might become another favorite of mine.
Racewise on technical merits, this track might be less interesting (although we won't really know until we see the race), so the views have to make up for that (or in Liberty terms: money makes up for it of course...)

Lets hope for a crash free race. Right after the start there is a mean hairpin.
