The colours yellow, red and blue will be banned from being used while free practice, qualifying and t﷽he♛ race are taking place to avoid distracting the drivers, according to Motorsport.com. 

F1 has rented the Sphere and the land aroun🌸d it for use during the ℱLas Vegas GP weekend, forcing Irish rock band U2 to pause its residency at the newly-opened venue. 

The Sphere finally opened its doors to the public in early October at a cost of $2.3billion. It is the world’s largest LED screen and fe𒉰atures high definition video screens on both the inside and outside. 

F1 will utilise the event facility to display branding from a number of partners, as well as driver cards featuring all 20 drivers and their cars, and helmets💧.

Specific moments will be highlighted during the weekend, including pole position after qualifying, and a special activation for the podium on S♊aturday night. 

“This is one of the world’s premier sporting events, and we are ready to showcase Sphere to our global audience via F1 – both in person⛦ in Las Vegas and watching around the world – demonstrating the unparalꦜleled technological and creative capabilities of the Exosphere,” said Joel Fisher, executive vice president marquee events and operations for MSG Entertainment.
