Several problems have occurred on the grid ahead of the start of the
Las Vegas Grand Prix. For instance, a car used in the drivers' parade leaked oil right before
Max Verstappen's starting grid spot.
In true UFC style, the
Formula 1 drivers were called around before the traditional drivers' parade at the
Las Vegas Street Circuit. Fun for some, others felt a little uncomfortable.
Sergio Perez, for example, looked a bit lost after being called over.
While
Lewis Hamilton's car - not his own
Mercedes, but the car in which he was driven around the circuit during the parade - broke down, forcing him to join Perez, another problem occurred.
It was
Oscar Piastri's car that dropped oil. This happened right before Verstappen's starting spot, something the
Red Bull Racing driver was clearly unhappy about. The Dutchman already indicated after qualifying that he would have preferred to start one place backwards, as he is on the dirty side of the track and will therefore have less grip at the start. The track has since been cleaned.
