    Then there's the concerns the tyres won't be able to get enough temperature into them given the forecast is about 10°

      So five minutes into free practise one, the session is cancelled because a manhole cover came loose and ruined Sainz's Ferrari.

              I'm guessing they'll go underground into the pipes and weld them all from below.

                      Second practice due to start at 2am local time.

                      One for the fans, this.

                        Police moving spectators out of the stands. FP2 moved back another half an hour. This is more and more looking like a sham of an event. FIA are going to to have some uncomfortable questions to answer.

                          Joke.

                          10-place grid penalty for Sainz
                          Carlos Sainz will take a drop of 10 places for the Las Vegas Grand Prix for exceeding power unit components after hitting the manhole cover on first practice.

                          Oof.

                            There's been some brilliant moments from Fred and Christian in this coverage so far. Christian talking about how Max doesn't like all the bullshit and just now flicking Ted the bird on camera, Fred dropping the f bombs in the earlier sofa interview.

                                Nothing in the rules allows them to waive the penalty. Apparently they were looking for a clause that would allow them to

                                According to the commentary all teams were approached about waiving the penalty and one team, Mercedes, said no.

                                Shitty from Mercedes if that is true. However 2nd place vs 3rd in the constructors is worth a few million. So I guess some criticism for a weekend is worth that

                                They need to change the rules for next year

                                    They're only suing for 30k so that seems kinda fair to me.

                                      Sergeant to take advantage of his unbelievable form and position this weekend and cause a multi car clash at lights on.

                                        Fun race. Leclerc unlucky (again) with the timing of the safety car.. great pass on the last lap to retake 2nd place
