Athletistic/Formula 1. Canadian driver Jacques Villeneuve, winner of the Formula 1 championship in 1997, attended the final round of the 2023 season in Las Vegas. The third American stage takes place from November 17 to 19, and free practice has already started on Friday. However, the weekend was filled not only with racing, but also other exciting events, including Villeneuve’s wedding itself.

Like many North Americans, the Canadian decided to get married in Las Vegas. But his choice of venue turned out to be unusual: the Formula 1 paddock. Julia Marra became the wife of the 52-year-old racer, and the ceremony was performed by an animator who performed in the image of Elvis Presley.

The Formula 1 Grand Prix will be held in Las Vegas for the first time since 1982. However, today’s first free practice lasted just 8 minutes and was suspended due to problems with the track surface .

  • First practice for the Vegas Grand Prix ended immediately after the start due to an unclosed hatch
