An unholy coming together of F1 and golf was purely about entertainment in a city that loves a show
Las Vegas loves a show, so in the week that Formula One descends on the city an unholy mash-up of golf and F1 was sport as entertainment writ large and with the emphasis on entertainment.
The streaming platform Netflix staged an unlikely tournament – “So, we have the F1 series and the golf series, right? Well how about we put the two together in our first ever live sport broadcast” is perhaps how the pitch went – at the golf course at the Wynn casino overlooking the curcuit where the Las Vegas Grand Prix will be held on Saturday.
