Twenty-one down, three to go. One final triple-header stands between F1 and the off-season.

Three weeks on from Sao Paulo, F1 returns this weekend. And there are few brighter spotlights in the world than Las Vegas.

What better location to get back on track than on of the most vibrant and dynamic cities on the planet, a year on from its debut on the F1 calendar.

"We are excited for our return to Las Vegas," Toto said.

"F1 put on an incredible show last year and the sight of F1 cars racing down the Strip at night was one of the season's highlights."

Nevada at night kept the teams on their toes when it came to maximising performance last season.

The Strip circuit also kept fans on the edge of their seats as cars jostled for position. No race in 2023 had more overtakes (72) than Las Vegas.

"The circuit and ambient conditions provided a fascinating challenge for both the drivers and teams, along with creating exciting racing and a captivating Grand Prix," added Toto.

"I am sure this year's event will be will be an even greater success, and build on the continued growth, interest, and success of our sport in the USA."

Toto himself had the pleasure of experiencing the thrills of the Las Vegas layout last year.

"The opportunity to do 180mph down such an iconic piece of real estate in a high-powered Mercedes-AMG GT R was one that I couldn't turn down," he said.

"I was therefore fortunate to take some of our partners on hot laps of the track and it was an experience that I, and I hope also they, won't forget."

Triple-headers are a real challenge for an F1 team, and three weeks on the road working at the highest level can take a mental and physical toll.

After two weeks back at the factory though, the team is ready to hit the ground running for the final push in Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi.

"We head to Las Vegas ready for the final races of the season," said Toto.

"We are focused on ending this year as strongly as possible and providing some more highlights as we close out 2024."

While both Championships are out of reach heading into the final three races, our story for this year and beyond still has numerous chapters to be written.

"We are looking forward to the triple-header," added Toto.

"To ending our incredible journey with Lewis on a high, and to building momentum for 2025."
