Neither do i. As you come off the start/finish straight, going into T1, theres an opportunity to outbrake the car ahead. If you get it wrong your going across T2, rather than around it. But you get crap on your tyres, you have to re-jin the track safely and you probabky cant attack again for a lap or two while your tyres clean up. I domt see an advantage that neccesitates a wall at T2.

I dont get this either , first they took 1 minute to see there is a stopped car, now its gone, wtf is the issue
They say race control CCTV has broken down, that's what taking so long
Poutine break.
Best FP ever. Edge of your seat stuff.
Red Flag for CCTV issues WTF , unacceptable!
It really is. Camera work is amazing too, so many closeups.
Come on lumberjacks, chop chop
FP1 is pointless now
Great job. Will watch againFP2 extended by 30 mins , FP2 to start at 9.30pm UK time
Nice banner from fia to absolve themselves of blame too.
Utter joke no FP1
What a farce
Feel sorry for the fans who've paid to see that

Rain is also expected
Between 4 and 7 track time, heavy rain and thunderstorm expected
The bold part might be the reason for the wall as IIRC drivers didn't really re-join safely before, they just continued straight out onto the track and whoever was coming round T2 had to make sure not to hit them.
That is a good point, there were some near misses over the years, but also some collosal crashes from failed overtakes going into T1. Shame if we lose the balls to the wall overtaking there.
I guess we re discussing drivers videogame ratings now. Top quality F1 coverage.
Very efficient work there
Great start for the weekend. Red flag 3. It's like I am looking at photos of my ex.FP3 is on but OMG it’s wet
Imagine how good Max would be if his downshifts worked well this year.
Sainz
She didn't like that.
Albon 5th best time after his bully crashes out. Coincidence? I think not
Mercs look shite in the rain.
Max seems to be enjoying himself.
Checo bottling it again
What happened? I missed the last ten minutes.
Nothing in particular he is just way off the pace
Finishing 17 in FP3.
Female commentator clearly didn’t realise Vegas was a night race, and unsuccessfully tried to style it out
Oh, I didn't even check positions once the rain started increasing. I am not even surprised, I seriously doubt anyone from top5 would want him now, Max is embarassing him pretty much every weekend.
Looks cold and a tad windy , could make for an interesting qualifying.
And wet
Hopefully this’ll be a tasty qualifying.
Zhou done already it seems
Aaaaaaand red flag already
Why the red flag, if they got the car started
