Internet reageert op Las Vegas-drama: 'Formule 1 licht fans opnieuw op'
Het had een geweldige eerste dag moeten worden in Las Vegas, maar er kan nu al wel gesteld worden dat het is uitgelopen op een deceptie. De tweede vrije training vindt met bijna drie uur vertraging plaats na een losse putdeksel en alle fans zijn al naar huis gestuurd. De reacties op het internet zijn dan ook niet mals.
F1's first day as a race promoter really has gone very well. Greatest show on earth... #LasVegasGP

Paying over $6,000 and getting chucked out without having seen anything … what a complete and utter embarrassment. If the US didn’t have COTA, Las Vegas would ensure F1 fails in the states again https://t.co/PEIP0SYrMl

Bit of a shambles in Vegas then

Can't help but feel they should have called it earlier and moved FP2 to the next day?
Practice is more for attending fans than TV viewers, hope there's some refunds being dished out!

do it in a rush, care more about the side events than the actual race, have a manhole cover fail, affect the locals by opening the road for them 2 hours later than expected, kick out the fans who were actually interested in f1
Hey @F1 fans, seeing that it's all going well in Las Vegas. You may as well stay up & watch MotoGP Practice in Qatar.

F1 always manages to throw away its chance to make it with fans in the USA.
