This entire day so far is showing how good most track organizers are. If this was test by F1 to see how much better they would do, it's showing they're delusional about their own organisational skills.

That on top of how detached they are from the fans, both more newer casual fans to more hardcore fans. I can't speak for the superrich but I suspect that even they would be embarrassed about this.

In this case it wasn't the weld that broke, but the concrete which is more difficult to test. But yeh, makes them look very stupid.

Damn, I'd be pissed if I paid so much money for tickets and the stay.

Why? What is the "logistics" reason, anyone know?

This is jut ridiculous. F1 and FIA fucked up the security and Ferrari gets penalized for it.

10 places may be the penalty imposed. Sad.

According to F1TV commentary, he would go back 10 places on the start grid.

Visually speaking, light ads (neon, leds) are noisier than passive (printed, painted) ads. It's basically visual pollution. As a kid I used to like it, but as an older person, I prefer calmer environments. I'm also against light pollution. Fireflights have disappeared near and in cities because of this. And we can't see a decent night sky anymore. I may be old and grumpy too... XD

"Look! T-Mobile!" "Look! Google Chrome!" XDDDD

Correct. They're filling all drains with quick drying cement.

See you later! Planned start no sooner than 2:00 am local time (10:00 GMT | 11:00 CET), but most probably 2:30 am (10:30 GMT | 11:30 CET). Around 100 minutes (1 1/2 hours) from the post of this message.

Holy shit. I didn’t start watching in earnest until 2020 so I missed this gem.

Is it just me or has Toto been grumpy af lately? I mean I get that journalists can be annoying but this was just over the top.

I wonder how he would have reacted if it was one of his cars that was damaged instead of Sainz...

It took me a while to get the reference, but then I remembered. RIP headphones... XDDDD

I hope this race is so fucking bad that they cancel any future races here unless Vegas builds a dedicated track. This notion of holding a street race in Vegas is just bonkers crazy and will never result in an interesting event. It’ll be Monaco, but without any of Monaco’s redeeming qualities.
