Las Vegas, September 25th
There was a time when races at Monza were memorable and formed a fitting end to a Grand Prix season as a final high-speed, no-holds-barred, flat-out dice, after which everyone collapsed in a heap happy to have ended the season on such a high note. Nowadays, with Monza emasculated by silly “chicanes” and everyone wanting to get on the money-making Formula One bandwagon, the season tends to drag on and this year it fizzled out in the car park of a big hotel in the desert gambling oasis of Las Vegas in the state of Nevada in the United States.
Keke Rosberg (Williams FW08 Ford) leads at the start of the race.
