You missed the bit where you chucked the fans out before FP2

"weekend so far" and not mentioning the most important part: Leclerc won Quali!

[MrSpeedyAce]

Sainz wrecking his trophy-carrying strategy was such a typical Ferrari mishap 😂

Just skip to 3:25 where the actual F1 content starts. Everything before is just celebrity and PR fluff...

[matticusrenwood]

Absolutely ashamed to be a Formula 1 fan today. The events that have taken place are unacceptable and unfair to the fans, to drivers and teams.

I’ve seen many statements released over the course of the last few days and not once have I felt the statements were sincere or apologetic.

I hope you learn from this, really.

[DJ_Intrusion]

This entire event is a complete joke and a greedy money grab by the organizers... Las Vegas needs to be scrapped from the F1 calendar!

[gaylemaree]

As a lifelong F1 fan, I cannot believe that the most elite and technical sport in the world has been reduced to this circus. We lost the German GP for this farce.

The weekend so far. F1 basically stole money of the fans who waited 6 hours for fp2. Todger Wolf bullying a reporter . Ferrari getting a penalty it does not deserve.

[bguzewi]

You should offer the fans who attended the fp2 session a full refund. Right is right.

When tickets was initially released in phase 1, the cheapest ticket was a "standing room only" at the Sphere, for $2, 000. If you fancy putting your rear on a bleacher to the left of the standing room, it was $5K, everything else was $10K and up, $10K for grandstands. We already reserved a house in Vegas a year out for $300 for the entire weekend, but as a family of 5, it's hard for us to drop $10K on 5 standing room only tickets. How much as prices dropped, I checked last night, in the Hospitality Suite, level 3 at the North Koval Zone where they will be zooming pass at 180mph before braking at turn5, Hospitality Suite includes everything from food, drinks, host, terrece for viewing, tvs, Fan Festival, etc..., all of this for $1998 (race day only), this was a $15K package (Thursday-Sat)back in phase 1. Think about it, those that paid for the 3 day event, didn't get to see FP1 nor FP2, so for next year, I think we'll wait to the very end to get some cheap tickets.

Cannot wait for the race tonight. This is going to be awesome!

[Qwepzy]

Vegas will be what Monaco is looking for off the grid but Vegas is looking for what Monaco has on grid

[Harrock]

When they put Brad Pitt and the Sphere in the Thumbnail you know that F1 has become a supporter series ..😢

[luthfikun]

"spectacular weekend so far", idk man

[icwicw]

FIA you have 14 hours to correct your Biggest Mistake of the year. No Grid Penalty for Carlos.

[ChrisSmout]

Looking forward to action on track than off.

I’ve really grown to like James as a commentator
He’s calculated with his words and has plenty of wisdom when it comes to driving
Hope to see more of him in the following season

[ellecaledonia]

James is a revelation. He sounds thoughtful, knowledgeable and calm. I don’t like overexcited broadcasters who act as if the event is the greatest thing ever. I look forward to more broadcasts from him. F1, don’t mess this up! Keep James for subsequent broadcasts!

[flatspots]

F1s saying for Vegas is "What happened in Vegas, doesn't get mentioned"

Zero mention of the fans at the track getting ripped off on Thursday.

Where's the sphere F1 emoji I came for? :(
