1,000 drones at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix is the trippiest thing

The Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix may have been a hot mess express, but this new clip might be the best thing you’ll see all day.

Let’s face it: not a whole lot went right for the Las Vegas Grand Prix. There were tire issues that nobody thought of beforehand, bad viewing times and a drain cover that nearly unraveled the whole thing — utter chaos.

But not everything was a total dumpster fire. In a newly released behind-the-scenes video, Preston Ward, the chief pilot for Sky Elements Drone Shows, shows viewers how his company lit up the Vegas night sky during the race.

Ward enlisted the help of 1,000 drones to make some pretty sweet entertainment, including a roulette wheel.
