The Las Vegas Grand Prix saw another setback for the Williams Formula 1 team as driver Alex Albon was forced to retire due to a cooling issue. This marked a disappointing continuation of challenges for Williams.

Williams Formula 1 star Alex Albon has suffered a shock retirement at the Las Vegas Grand Prix compounding the team's misery this weekend. The 28-year-old became the second retirement of the race, after Pierre Gasly also came into the Alpine garage earlier than planned after a terrific qualifying performance on Friday.

While experts predict this year’s race will pull in slightly less than the $500 million or so in revenue for Formula 1 and the $1.5 billion in Las Vegas economic impact achieved in last year’s race, the contest and its weeklong festivities will still be a boon for all those involved.
