Las Vegas agrees two-year Formula One contract extension through 2027
MONTREAL — The Las Vegas Grand Prix will remain part of the Formula One calendar for at least the next two years after officials confirmed they have agreed an extension to cover 2026 and 2027. Las Vegas joined the F1 calendar in 2023 on an initial three-year contract, albeit with a long-term commitment in place from the casino partners and a 10-year approval from Clark County for the race to take place along the Strip. Advertisement Earlier this week, F1 announced the 2026 calendar including Las Vegas despite there being no formal communication about the race being renewed beyond this year. Senior leadership members from casino partners including Wynn, the MGM Grand, Caesars and the Venetian, plus the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, were in Montreal on Saturday to take part in a media panel discussing the future of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, and referred to an 'extension' being in place. Asked by The Athletic to clarify the contractual status of the grand prix, Emily Prazer, the president of the Las Vegas Grand Prix and chief commercial officer of F1, confirmed that a two-year renewal had been agreed by the various partners. 'We've agreed collectively that we're going to do a two-year extension for 2026 and '27,' Prazer said. 'We want to make sure that we're continuing to evolve what we're doing. But the intent is a much longer-term arrangement. 'As we all know, the race has had its challenges, but we're coming out the other side. So we want to make sure that it continues to work for both sides. 'So collectively, we sat down and agreed that was the best approach. We're very much planning longer-term, but that's kind of where we're at right now.' Steve Hill, the CEO and president of the LVCVA, added: 'The length of extensions don't really reflect anything other than it just makes sense incrementally, we know what's going to happen over the next couple of years. 'We're planning on this being a permanent race, we'll just keep planning extensions that will probably expand as we go forward.' The Las Vegas Grand Prix endured a tricky debut in 2023 amid concerns from fans about ticket and hotel prices, as well as an issue with a loose water valve cover on Thursday night in practice that led to FP1 being cancelled and FP2 being significantly delayed. Advertisement But it ended up being one of the best races of the year with plenty of overtaking, and the track layout proved popular with the drivers, while the high price points were addressed for 2024, including a significant drop in hotel rates. For 2025, officials in Las Vegas have brought forward the start time from its previous slot of 10 p.m. PT on Saturday to 8 p.m. after feedback from both paddock personnel and fans about it being too late to start the race.

The Chime IPO Will Kickstart A Fintech Investment Comeback
Chris Britt, co-founder and chief executive officer of Chime Financial Inc., during the company's ... More initial public offering at the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York, US, on Thursday, June 12, 2025. Chime launched its IPO with a splash. Shares jumped as much as 59% above the $27 offering price—opening at $43 and closing near $37—marking a bold public debut for the US's largest neobank. With a valuation hovering between $11.6 billion and $15 billion—well below its 2021 private peak of $25 billion—the surge raises the question: Will this trigger renewed investment in neobanks and fintech? Chime's IPO follows strong debuts from fintechs like Circle and eToro. PitchBook's Rudy Yang framed Chime as 'a strategic breakthrough—marking a return of fintech liquidity' after the sector saw VC exit values plummet from $222 billion in 2021 to under $30 billion in the past few years. Chime could be a bellwether for a neobank--and broader fintech--recovery if it: There is another side of the coin: Is Chime's IPO really a pivotal moment for the fintech industry and a validation of the digital-banking model and a template for future bank challengers? No. Chime's debut feels more like a secure base camp than a flag planted atop Everest. It suggests that public markets are open to credible fintech challengers—provided they bring scale, strong unit economics, and realistic valuations. The critical questions for neobanks: 1) Can they diversify revenue beyond interchange (loans, wealth, insurance)? 2) Will macro conditions hold stable enough to sustain IPO markets? 3) Will consumer-trust and customer growth trajectories support future public offerings? The answers are no. There are market factors impacting neobanks that have closed the door to new neobanks coming into the market: 1) Megafintechs have better economics and business models. Among consumers who consider a digital bank or neobank their primary checking account or payments provider, half of them say their primary provider is PayPal or Square Cash App. Neobanks don't just compete with incumbent banks—they compete with the megafintechs, whose platform business models give them scale and revenue diversity. 2) Interchange isn't a reliable revenue source. Relying on interchange runs against consumer behavior trends regarding: 3) The niche affinity play is tough for startups. This strategy requires neobanks to identify a segment's unique financial needs and Be the dominant affinity. Neobanks' claims of how big their affinity groups are misleading because most of us belong to multiple affinity groups. Fintech has entered a new phase—one defined by realism, consumer impact, and long-term value creation. The new phase, however, isn't about bank disruption and displacement--it's about banking industry infrastructure upgrade and replacement. The Chime IPO will help create more VC interest in fintech investment--but that investment won't go to new neobanks. Instead, it will go to startups that bring two things to the financial services industry: 1) AI-driven process reinvention from machine learning, Generative AI, and Agentic AI tools and technologies, and 2) Stablecoin and other cryptocurrency-related payments innovation. The latter may do more to disrupt banks than Chime and other neobanks have done.
