you have to be joking !! that is just wrong, totally unfair on him and the team.Sainz getting a grid penalty for his engine change
FFS could the FIA be any more incompetent.
F1 2023 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
FFS could the FIA be any more incompetent.
But it might yet turn out to be a great weekend due to the extent of shitshownessI did say earlier this week, that this would be either a total shitshow or a great weekend, looking like a total shitshow so far
now 1030am, sky f1 just confirmed
WTF fans being moved out of the stands.
This is becoming more of a farce minute by minute

Shocking that Sainz gets a grid penalty. Beyond ridiculous if you ask me.
They've kicked all the fans out the grand stands?
Wouldn’t surprise me if it gets cancelled in the end. Or, session time reduction. Have an FP2 for 20 mins so they can justify not recompensing fans.
This is getting cancelled.
The F1 clown show continues, wish there was another series to properly rival it.
Totally unfair on Sainz because of F1 feck up.
It will start, there will be a few laps and someone will crash and it will red flag and end for the night as the roads need to be opened up.
F1 is truly cursed when it comes to USA...well the USA fans are anyway.
clearing fans out of the stands, is a joke.
OK its only FP , but they would have paid for those seats.
How do they expect F1 to take off in Vegas when they treat the fans like this.
I would be interested to know who took the decision to clear the stands.

Here's an idea - boycott F1 until they stop fecking with the sport
Rules need changing. Apparently stewards spent a few hours trying to find something in the regs to allow Sainz not to get a grid penalty.
Its ok, they will make it up to the fans, by giving us what we really want....more sprint races.
I know FIA is all rules and they stick to them like shit to a blanket, but FFS a grid penalty for Sainz is wrong.
Button is right , could all the teams not be asked if the rules could be bent so there was no grid pen.
Can you imagine Horner or Toto right now if it was one of their drivers.

Totally agree with you. It has taken a very long time for F1 to become popular in the US.
And as you say, unless there is a genuine safety reason, it is no way to treat the paying public.
Hopefully they will get some kind of refund.
Just make something up like they did when they robbed Hamilton
All need to be do is add Force Majeure in regualtions.
so FP2 is 90mins and the local roads need to be open by 4am.
Thats not going to happen is it.

Kravitz: Grandstands are being cleared
Sky Sports F1's Ted Kravitz:
"What I'm seeing from the grandstands, it looks to me that the police and marshals are clearing the grandstands and I feel extremely sorry.
"On the second straight I could see 60 to 80 fans and they were sticking with it. My heart was with them but according to the circuit they can't provide the staff and safety stewards for them to be looked after and kept safe. I feel very, very sorry for them."

Full refund and 50% discount on next years race.
Sky are saying that ONE team would have objected to Sainz not getting a penalty.
They are not saying who, but the hinted that is was the team fighting for second place with Ferrari !!
If this is right poor poor show from them

Thats poor by mercedes, if true. But there are 10s of millions in car development money at stake.
Just don’t penalise him and when questioned just state it was “human error.” Worked before
Would be pathetic.
I understand the money involved, but I agree poor show from them, I actually thought Toto and co were better than that.
but also sadly trueBut we dont know if it is Mercedes , we are only going of what Ted is saying.
Just because Horner is more of a bellend, don’t make the mistake of thinking Toto isn’t. He’s just a little bit less of a bellend.
I agree with you, both are has bad as each other.
Is that huge sphere not a massive distraction for the drivers?
Much appreciated.
Fans not happy at Lost Wages.
Are they filling all the holes in Vegas?
