Las Vegas Grand Prix: F1 tries to recover from embarrassing first day

The Hindu  

Formula One is hoping to turn its luck around on the Strip, like so many other Las Vegas visitors who blow a big bankroll soon after they arrive. F1 President Stefano Domenicali and Renee Wilm, CEO of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, issued a a joint statement Friday night to explain the debacle because “this is important for those who are new to racing to understand.” The statement said organizers were acting out of concern for safety workers and security officials who were scheduled to work the entire weekend. They also said F1 was bumping against a federal law about the amount of time transport workers taking spectators back to hotels “can legally and safely drive buses.” They added that hospitality staff needed to begin preparing for the upcoming days. Work is performed on a manhole following the first practice session for the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix.
