F1 team bosses call for Las Vegas schedule change
The event timetable for the race in Las Vegas was delayed to accommodate road closures and TV viewers in Europe. The FP2 and qualifying sessions ran from midnight to 1am but the latter finished at 4am due to remedial work. The race started at 10pm on Saturday evening. The schedule was particularly difficult for team members adjusting to the time change from Europe after a grueling season. Team bosses acknowledged that the schedule was too hard on personnel and expressed the need for improvement, such as finding a timing that fits the expectations of different time zones. Red Bull’s Christian Horner suggested running the race earlier in the evening to make it more comfortable for the team. Aston Martin’s Mike Krack emphasized the importance of stepping back and assessing what would work best for both race promotion and the workforce. AlphaTauri CEO Peter Bayer stated that his team would support any changes to improve the schedule.
