I'm certain there were no shots of the crowd during the race? Bit odd

Saw one of a psyched Ferrari fan and another of a bored bloke in a merc cap with huge headphones on. Reminded me of Austin a few weeks back. I got a pic of a woman sitting on the grass reading her kindle, for the whole race. Pretty expensive read

Class Action lawsuit has been officially filed against F1 to recover money spent on FP1 tickets. 
The fact it even got this far is a bit shameful, the FIA sold tickets to an event and they did not deliver said event, the tickets should have immediately been refunded without question. The FIA offered a $200 discount in the gift shop but only for those who held single-night tickets for Thursday, according to CBSNews the majority of fans there had 3-day passes.

There was talk at the time of compensation for rhe 3 day'ers by calculating the cost. They should have just refunded the cost of a single day ticket and be done with it. First ever race at a venue you're better off garnering public trust and losing a small amount than pissing everyone off.

Exactly, this whole race was a giant learning experience, suck up the cost and gain public trust, they have already pissed off most of vegas for the amount of time it’s taken disrupting the area building the track, this just makes them look even more greedy when fans who have supported them have to sue them or at minimum seek legal advice to get a refund. It should have been immediate. 
 

Doesnt seem to matter what it is, the FIA can do an amazing job on something but always manage to make a decision somewhere along the line that leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

I mean, does it really shock or surprise anybody, this behaviour? All these major sporting organizations are cut from the same moneygrabbing cloth. Sport is CLEARLY second or third priority every time.

Not surprising. The USA is the lawsuit centre of the world, no chance f1 will get away with this for free. Just settle and move on

Verstappen and Hamilton in the same garage? Its probably the only combination of drivers that would stop Red Bull from winning every race.

Would show up Verstappen for what he is - an average driver in an excellent car. Lewis wouldn't want to play second fiddle either - would be interesting to see mind.

To say Max is an average driver is as mental as those who were saying Lewis was an average driver when he was winning all before him

Not really. Clearly there's more to just getting in the car and pointing it forwards, but it's a lot easier when you're in a super fast car that is streets ahead of everyone else - and you're pretty much on the front row of the grid every week. For me anyway, Hamilton is the best driver in F1, who, with a car that has been hit and miss for a few years, he still gets the best out of it, despite the issues. And he also did it when Mercedes had the edge over the rest.

Are you forgetting the vast majority of Max’s career lol , he’s had the best car for two years. He constantly outperformed his Redbull in previous years when they were either second or third in the pecking order. Hamiltons time after the dominance hasn’t exactly been glowing either, he had a poor year last year and got beat by Russell in his debut season. But tbf that’s kinda irrelevant, it’s all subjective who you see as the best driver but saying Max is an average driver is just downright moronic lol

Yeh I’m a massive Hamilton fan and don’t like max because he’s just so weird, but I’m shocked that anyone who even has a passing interest in the sport can consider him anything but amongst the greats. Not everything has to be a rivalry. They’re both all timers
