Alonso wants FIA to change Las Vegas GP after raising safety concerns
Aston Martin F1 driver Fernando Alonso has called on the FIA to implement changes to the Las Vegas Grand Prix due to safety concerns raised during the race in Nevada. Alonso highlighted two major issues with the event, the first being the poor quality of the road surface which lacked grip necessary for Formula 1 standards. He expressed concerns about the slippery track, inability to warm up the tires, lack of grip, and bumpy surface, declaring it potentially unsafe for racing. Additionally, Alonso criticized the scheduling of the race, citing the challenging time difference and long travel distances, questioning whether any other sport would accept similar circumstances. While acknowledging the appeal of the circuit, he emphasized the need for discussions with the FIA about the track conditions and timing on the calendar for future considerations. The Spaniard’s comments reflect a call for improvements to ensure the safety and logistical feasibility of the Las Vegas Grand Prix on the Formula 1 calendar.
