Stella: F1 drivers “taken to the limit” by Las Vegas show elements
“While the event last weekend provided an exciting race, there were certain aspects that could be improved upon. The late timetable, with qualifying starting at midnight and the race at 10pm, put a strain on F1 personnel both physically and mentally. This was compounded by the travel and time zone adjustment required for the next race in Abu Dhabi. Additionally, the showbusiness element of the weekend received criticism, with some suggesting that drivers were pushed too far in their obligations. The team principal of McLaren, Andrea Stella, believes that the timetable and the demands on drivers should be reviewed. On a positive note, Stella thinks that the track layout contributed to good racing, but he also expressed concern about the slippery tarmac and potential accidents.”
