Wouldn’t it be ironic if this is the first in a string of such incidents and they have to cancel the GP due to track issues?
So far this race weekend has been a huge letdown for F1. Drivers are commenting on the track layout, attendance is low, stuff like this happens… I doubt this race will be back next year.
Didn’t they sign a multi-year deal already?
They signed a 10-year-contract with the intention of extending it should it turn out to be a long term success.
It’s kind of an interesting situation since F1 purchased & built the pits & paddock area for 240m USD. So F1 doesn’t really make a contract with a racetrack owner, but with the City of Las Vegas to “borrow” those public roads.

The real problem is that those roads carry big money for Vegas during the day, so they can only work on this thing at night.
