F1 drivers say oil on track created "unacceptable" conditions at Vegas GP start
During the usual pre-race parade lap, the 20 drivers are introduced to the spectators by driving classic cars around the track. Unfortunately, in this race, there was an incident where the car carrying Oscar Piastri spilled oil on the grid. This caused Carlos Sainz to slide into Lewis Hamilton at Turn 1, resulting in a spin. Sainz and other drivers, such as Pierre Gasly, expressed their frustration with the slippery surface and called for changes to be made to ensure fairness in future races. Despite the incident, the marshals were able to clean up the oil before the race started.
