Fans kicked out before practice. We need someone to come up with a worthy alternative to this so-called pinnacle of motorsport as soon as possible.

Thankfully WEC is entering a new golden era.

Or how about "racing as one" in Saubi Arabia...

Fp2 confirmed my earlier comment about seeing empty grandstands… this race looks to be incredibly boring

Confirmed because the crowds were booted out. There were some people there before.

And no refunds either.

 

[McLaren]

I wonder if people get their money back.

 

[Veinz]

What a farce, no refunds but they probably can get them with a chargeback.

I know my bank for sure would do a chargeback with something like that. Because they've done ones for me for less.

yeah I saw the people during Fp1, huge contrast to Fp2.

Also, fans not getting any refund is pretty bad, at least give them a coupon code to get free stuff in the F1 store

I went to see fp2 in Vegas and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

Did it say "Lol Sainz lost at the casino"?

We're not quite at Indy 2005 levels of embarassment, but it's not far off.

 

[Giz WCR-666]

they said fans were sent home because of a lack of staff at the venue.. did the staff have to go home & sleep..? ..in the city that never sleeps? 🤷🏼‍♂️
it was said earlier.. Farcical. 🤦🏼‍♂️

The love for their customers is amazing.

 

[MagpieRacer]

The love for their customers is amazing.

Not even an apology?

 

[TumeK5]

What are you talking about, the officials saved everyone from falling into the manhole!

 

[toastet]

Thin ice F1, thin ice. Your 500 million investment is at risk. Didn't you learn anything from Indy or Spa?

 

[desmodan]

Please keep up. Manholes don't exist anymore. They're called inspection covers now,
Until it blocks up with ****. Then a man has to go down the hole.

 

[Demon Drone]

**** like this is what makes me care less and less about the sport. I'll never attend an F1 now knowing this is what they think of paying customers. They can go to hell.

 

[AshenGraey]

Did qualifiers get pushed back?

 

[ScottPuss20]

Soooo FP1 gets cancelled and the spectators are told to bugger off before FP2? Locking out a decent portion of the audience is bad enough but not giving the people that actually did pay a chance to see the action? That's a sure fire way to ensure that this event never happens again.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Whoa, Albon smacks the wall and loses a tire. And red flag to end the session. 😮

 

[Grayfox]

Damn those speeds.
348km/h
Faster than Monza.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Aw, man... both McLarens out in Q1. 😔

 

[Grayfox]

Results at the end of Q1

 

[DG_Silva]

That's insane, top 16 drivers within 1.1s! Considering all the different technologies and aerodynamic differences, that's impressive.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Wow, Hamilton and Perez out in Q2? 😮

 

[PaMu1337]

Ferrari and Williams are the only teams with both cars in Q3
