Oliver Bearman could not believe what he was experiencing when he ventured onto the track during FP1 for the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Oliver Bearman expressed his surprise at the low level of grip at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit during his first experience there, describing it as “shocking.”
Despite finishing P16 in FP1 and P17 in FP2 in Sin City, the Haas driver found the high-speed, low-grip street track “dangerous” due to the proximity of the walls.
The track’s evolution is influenced by the asphalt’s use by normal road traffic, further complicated by rainfall between FP1 and FP2.
Bearman highlighted the importance of track evolution for lap time, especially on a circuit like Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend.
Comparing it to other street tracks like Jeddah and Baku, Bearman found the Las Vegas circuit to be the “least enjoyable” due to its low grip level and high-speed nature, despite the excitement of racing on the Vegas strip.
