Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu will headline November’s F1 Business Summit in Las Vegas, delivering leadership insights on 19 November at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Komatsu’s session examines how a lean operation competes with manufacturer-backed rivals, set against the looming 2026 regulatory reset and the ongoing realities of the cost cap.

Expect emphasis on decision speed, resource prioritisation, and cultural clarity—areas where smaller teams can extract marginal gains when hardware parity is elusive.

Gordon Ramsay will discuss race-weekend hospitality and operations, an area increasingly central to event value, sponsor activation, and fan satisfaction across modern F1 weekends.

The keynote pairs Super Bowl winner Russell Wilson with three-time Olympic champion Shaun White, focusing on converting elite athletic careers into ownership and investment strategies.

Ndamukong Suh adds further perspective on athlete-to-investor transitions, reflecting a broader trend of cross-sport capital flowing into motorsport ecosystems.

Former Eurosport chief Peter Hutton moderates panels on data-led fan engagement, featuring Cadillac’s Ahmed “Meddy” Iqbal, CAA Sports’ Matthew O’Donohoe, and WHOOP’s Dirk-Jan van Hameren.

Tickets begin at $550, with VIP packages at $2,500, reinforcing the event’s premium positioning and access to senior stakeholders.

The Grand Prix follows from 19–21 November on the 6.2km Strip Circuit, demanding low-drag efficiency and strong power deployment for prolonged full-throttle sections.

Its profile echoes high-speed street venues such as the Baku City Circuit, where long straights and heavy braking compress margins and punish setup compromises.

Development timing remains critical. Recent examples, including Williams’ Baku upgrade, illustrate how targeted packages can unlock performance windows within cost-cap constraints.
