Las Vegas Grand Prix is in jeopardy due to manholes
The Formula 1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas (USA) was in jeopardy. This follows from statements on the championship page on the social network X.
The first free practice ended for the riders 10 minutes after the start. This happened due to a detached sewer hatch, which damaged the car of Spaniard Carlos Sainz from the Ferrari team.
The second practice was postponed as the Fédération Internationale de l’Autosports (FIA) began inspecting the entire track surface. It is expected that the training run will take place immediately after the completion of work on the track, its duration will be increased to 90 minutes.
The main race of the Las Vegas Grand Prix is scheduled for November 19. The city is hosting the competition for the first time since 1982.
Earlier, Red Bull team driver Max Verstappen criticized the opening ceremony of the stage in Las Vegas. According to him, during the event the athletes looked like clowns.
