F1's most expensive ticket to watch the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix has been unveiled by one of the race's official partners - and you even get a free supercar thrown in.
In what was one of the most highly-anticipated races in recent F1 memory - unless, perhaps, you're Max Verstappen - last season's Las Vegas Grand Prix certainly delivered from both a spectacle and entertainment standpoint.
The street circuit, which comprises the Vegas Strip and sees drivers speed past iconic buildings, is one of the fastest and most challenging tracks on the calendar.

In previous years, Grand Prix hosting cities would routinely expect to lose at least seven figures from each season's race weekend.
But that wasn't the case with Vegas. According to reports, the economic impact on the city was $1.5 billion, against a hosting cost of around $500 million.
With interest in F1 even higher this season as a result of a much tighter title battle - though Verstappen has an opportunity to win it with two races to go by getting eight points more than McLaren's Lando Norris - you would not be surprised if that amount rises even higher.

And that will be helped in no small part but what is believed to be the most expensive ticket in Formula 1 this year (Vegas offered a $5 million package last year but that has not been replicated) - dubbed the 'Aston Martin Million Dollar Package'.
Reading that, you might be thinking that 'Million Dollar Package' might be clever wording just to hype up the ticket. But no - it actually costs $1 million.
The package is part of a collaboration between the newly-opened Fontainebleau Las Vegas hotel - an official partner of the event - and Aston Martin, and promises that the buyer will 'experience Race Week like a VIP'.
Yourself and up to five guests will be flown to Vegas and back on a private flight, with transportation offered throughout your journey.

A five-night stay in a three-bedroom suite at the hotel is also on offer, as well as a VIP table at the LIV Nightclub in Vegas.
Furthermore, a private dinner for six, $20,000 food and beverage credit and a $20,000 resort credit can be redeemed upon arrival.
There are other benefits, too, but you might be wondering what brings this ticket up to a cost of $1 million.

The answer is a brand-new 2025 Aston Martin Vanquish, which is handed to the buyer for free.
Aston Martin's own website describes the supercar as a 'conqueror for the ages', and adds that 'engaging yet exhilarating dynamics come together to usher in a revolution of refinement and ferocity'.
It is powered by a twin-turbo V12 engine, which allows it to hit a stunning top speed of 214 mph.
Current Aston Martin F1 drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll unveiled the Vanquish at a special launch event in September.

This wasn't the car that Alonso was gifted by Aston Martin, though, as he received his own customised Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar earlier this year after signing a new contract with the team until 2026.
The Vanquish retails at $434,000 at the time of writing - making that $1 million ticket price a little more justifiable if you're one of the very few to have that sort of money to throw around.
