00:00 We're stepping into the unknown.
00:02 We only have a short amount of time to learn it.
00:04 You'll see a world of change when it comes to Las Vegas.
00:07 Racing in Vegas, night race, is much colder than every other race we ever participate in and
00:28 being within this city
00:30 with all the lights, it's going to be pretty wild. So I'm just excited to see what that journey brings.
00:36 We're living in a time right now where
00:48 the sport has grown so much here in the States and
00:51 it's great to see. I've been to NFL games and
00:55 NBA games and see how
00:57 how excited the fan base is here. So finally we're now tapping into that fan base.
01:02 I think three events is very ambitious and
01:13 I think this country can handle it. But be careful not to be too over the ambitions.
01:20 I think it's the balance is there now.
01:22 Cultivate that and be happy with that.
01:26 You know, I think there's a lot of money in America still, you know, so that's what they're doing, you know.
01:31 And I think Netflix has made it so popular worldwide, but especially in America.
01:37 You'll see a world of change when it comes to Las Vegas. I've raced there, but there was basically
01:54 at the Caesars Palace huge parking lot, you know. So now I mean, it's a total commitment from the city.
02:02 I mean, it's amazing what's going on there.
02:05 I think the biggest challenge is going to be the temperature.
02:17 I think this is one of the coldest, probably the coldest race that we've done in a long, long time.
02:21 It'll be interesting this weekend, but also it's a new circuit. We only have a short amount of time to learn it.
02:26 So I'm excited.
02:28 The track's going to be about 15 degrees colder than everywhere else we race on an average.
02:34 So that's going to be reacting totally different. The engines are going to be running much, much colder.
02:39 We're never really used to being under the limit.

02:52 It seems like there's been a very big buildup. I mean, understandably, it's, you know,
02:55 anytime we had a race in the previous years in the States, it was always a big buildup.
03:00 Vegas, I think, is always going to be something extreme over the top. I mean, that's what Vegas is.
03:04 I feel proud to be part of Formula One. The people running the show at Formula One, they're incredibly smart people.
03:11 They know what the fans want and they know we need to keep on pushing the boundaries.
03:16 We're at a peak, but you can't plateau. You need to keep on pushing forward.
03:19 And I think the addition of Las Vegas to the calendar is another step pushing the sport in a good direction.
