Like so many others, I was crushed by how expensive they made this event. My buddies and I talked about going when it was announced, but when pricing was released we immediately gave up
Man I wasn't very optimistic about this race bacause the track doesn't look particularly great ( I guess there are 1 or 2 overtaking spots)
But everything F1 does about it feels so backwards, like they are spending all this money to make more F1 in the US, while also making sure no one in LV can see it unless they are f-ing rich, racing in the most horrible time for anyone in the Americas to see it and also repeatedly negating Andretti, and American teams to get into the sport
The amount of complaining going on about a F1 race that hasnt even happened yet is just embarrassing for the whole sport
Americans are aware of F1 because of DTS but it has not created a fan base outside of the show. Americans also don’t like “boring” sports and most Americans I know have said a variation “well isn’t max verstappen winning everything? Why would you want to watch?” My husband and I decided not to go to this race because if the insane prices for a race we had no idea what the experience would be like.
How the tire weeeeeeeehh 😂
lets take it step forward. Lets do f1 race in Finland, on frozen lake with studded tyres
16:11 40s is not freezing. We go outside for gym class if it's above freezing in northern Illinois.
Also the freezing point of dihydrogen Monoxide is 32 degrees.
We've had city races in places with well developed, or at least passable traffic infrastructure up until Vegas.
For the murrican readers: That means reduction of car reliance, public transport, bike friendliness, and so on.
I wonder what will prove to be the Achilles heel for Las Vegas…
Having once been to Vegas, I’m not a fan. It felt like a carnival on steroids. Race weekend will be utter chaos!
Maybe some DNF's and DSQ's with fuel issues. I don't know really the difference that night air density could cause.
It's going to be like 14 degrees when the race starts. Why does the number of "5-10" keep getting repeated?
Haas should do well as they turn their tyres on quick
This country has Laguna Seca. The Cork Screw. It's a permanent circuit, and one of the best ever. And they do this.
The tire choices are soft,medium,hard and all season.
The pace car will be a snowmobile
I've spent a lot of time in Vegas. Don't feel too sorry for the "Strip" its a bunch of casinos. Yeah. It sucks that you can't see the fountain show at the Bellagio. It was the resurfacing that really caused the headaches. That's done obviously. Good for many years. My worry! That its a debacle. 10 red flags or who knows. I can't wait. We'll see! 😂🎉
I do think people who are hateful towards this race probably have never and won’t even watch the race some of the criticisms is absolutely valid but Vegas has a lot of sports i an American already love f1 those people complain about everything for a raider game yet they most likely aren’t fans of the team I would have loved to go to the Vegas Grand Prix this would be an experience of a lifetime
I'm sorry but I just cannot unsee the "Spider-Pig" layout. 🤣 I fully expect this to be a sh*t show. Hopefully I'm proven wrong.
I’m eight minutes into this video but you guys have said little about what we need to know about the course. I’m going to watch The Race instead.
it is all about the money. they dont care about racing. other circuits are forced to make safety adjustments and here we are racing in way to cold weather with no safety . where would be grip on a new tarmac with to cold temp outside. this is asking for excidents. but he you get entertainment, and thst is what count in the end.
Sent you some Vegas info on IG an not even a like and you guys didn't read it. I'm a Vegas local and thought it might add to your content…
People are gunna be pissed when they find out our airport is terrible and have zero public transportation options
Imagine everyone being wrong, and with all different strategies, some drivers risking a lot – mainly the ones with less to lose – and this ends up being the best race of the season
F-1 has entered the home of hula hoops and pet rocks.
Most Americans have no interest in Vegas, go there once and it should be your last time. Expensive, does not deliver, all fake, food sucks, unless you have thousands for dinners.
Cue SPIDER PIG…. Lol
The Las Vegas grand prix shouldn't award points and should just be an 'exhibition' race.
I was in Vegas last weekend for a wedding and while i won't call it a disaster, it's pretty disruptive. Trees taken down in front of the Bellagio, you can only see the fountains from the casino side, and every Uber driver i talked to said it was crazy. Walking the strip was impeded by lots of construction. All that being said, I'm excited about watching the race on TV. It should be beautiful – i was up in the "high roller" and could see the track rolling around the newly built "sphere," and it got me a bit excited. I do feel they did a disservice to the city and workers there. Tourists will learn to avoid the weeks leading up to the race in the future.
I would be so disappointed, if there will be no chaos now, and also if there is no fighting for the lead. I don't mind ver winning again but I want fighting! I want bloody racing for the 1st. It would be amazing if norris could get his first win here.
I’ve just watched the opening ceremony. Cringe level 1000
is it possible that wet tyres will be faster than drys?
10:08 just go to Hungary. Well we did this year and tho the track might not be the most exciting track out there, everything else was sublime. The whole weekend is and was about racing and Budapest is an amazing city. I highly recommend to visit the Hungarian grand prix.
I don't get where people are seeing these weather forecasts! 15-12c. not 5c!!!!
Vegas won’t be this crazy every year. Infrastructure is the toughest to build
I have to say your guys take on the construction is pretty hilariously out of touch. Tell me when vegas hasent had crazy construction going on for the past 3 decades. This type of stuff is the reason why vegas didnt completely collapse. Theyve been redifining what vegas is since the 90's and it has saved them from collapsing. Youre completely missing just how incredible what theyve done in such a short period of time is. They are building a race track and all the infrastructure to support it and have done it in an incredibly short time. Its amazing
Super glad US fans are pushing back against this outrageous ticket prices, when all of this is a marketing campaign for the casinos.
Update Thursday 8:25 pm. 60°F
Fp1 let's goooo. I can hear the whining from my back yard 🎉
Lol made it 10 min. 😂 Back at midnight?
This year will always be the most disruptive. A lot of the underlying infrastructure and resurfacing is done now so will be put up much quicker in coming years
They should have built a track out by the NASCAR track.
Did you enjoy FP1 Tommy? 😅
Fp2 2:30am , 54°F ?
So Tommy, How much did you enjoy fp1?😂
Lol just kicked out any fans that were left. 😂
Last Vegas is a disaster
I don't see any TECPRO Barriers ? Those speeds I don't know.
13:51 Did you enjoy FP1 Tommy?
Well ofc it's gonna be a cold race, it's November!!!! We're approaching Winter season!
Chaos has begun 😮
Where’d they get the “next 10 years” BS. It’s 3 years dudes.
