Curator’s statement
I had the chance to attend both years of the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas, and each experience had its own highlights. The first year, I watched the race from the Paddock Club on Saturday night. It was exciting being right in the middle of the action. Seeing the neon-lit garages up close—where the teams quickly swapped out tires and made pit stops—was a real highlight. The atmosphere was electric, and the fireworks at the end added a great finish. However, from the Paddock, you only get a rear view of the winning driver during the celebration, which made the moment feel a bit distant.This past year, I experienced the race from the Skyboxes, which offered a completely different perspective. The view of the racetrack was much better, giving a full look at the action. I was able to see the winning driver from the front during the podium ceremony, which made the moment feel more personal. The Skyboxes also offered the best view of the fireworks display—something you don’t really get from the Paddock.
