FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN SILVER LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX 2023....Practice 1-2-3.... ▄▀▄▀▄▀ SPOILERS ▄▀▄▀▄▀

Cool so far tater tots and the donuts were pretty good. Let's see 2500/3= $830/ lap...styling!

 

Track supervisor truck just went by.

 

Track is junk on the strip. Plainly obvious from the in car cam. Destroyed Ferrari chassis for Carlos. You’d think the FIA would have had that caught and fixed before risking a driver’s safety and car damage.

 

Carlos was walking through pit lane and looked ok.
The straight on the strip had a massive bump or drain cover issue right on the racing line. The on board showed a very noticeable violent bump on the straight

Was hoping this would go a lot better than this…

 

I had the Chinese chicken salad. Not bad. People are in a pretty good mood but this track thing is worrisome. I wonder if they will stop for the evening and resume tomorrow.

 

“Track testing? We doan need no steenkin’ track testing….”

 

ESPN says loose drain cover???

 

Like every other race then

cluster****.

 

Are you at the Haas hospitality enclosure?

 

If the ESPN report true loose drain covers I could weld on down in 10mins. If track bumps ripped floor off sainz" that's a bigger problem. Can rideheight be raised enough?

 

I see they brought in the heavy equipment….

 

they have chipotle!

or should at least

 

Hass-vegas? Nope in the $2500 cheap seats gs5

 

No kidding. Like for the billions involved why have a guy taking care of stuff like that. More important to do special Vegas livery and wedding chapels!

I think they were just speculating. Surely they graded and secured drain covers. Surely.

 

Thankfully for Carlos, he let off before he hit the cover due to a yellow flag. Not sure what the yellow flag was for unless they noticed the drain cover before he hit it

 

The porpoising after hitting it was severe. I can’t imagine it’s simply a manhole cover not welded down. The entire section in the overhead looks shaved as if it’s a structural issue with the pavement and drains.

 

Here’s another image where you can see a solid drain cover sitting on the surface

“Ok, places everybody. Emergency entertainment call! Come on, people! Cue the Elvises in 3…2….” /Robin Williams voice

 

Holy ****.

Reminds me of the Shelton brothers in the 512BB at Sebring in, what…about 1990?
