F1 fans tore holes in the screens restricting views in public areas of the Las Vegas Grand Prix circuit.
During the Las Vegas race, some non-ticket holders managed to tear through the view-blocking screens that were placed along the strip, despite unsuccessful attempts by event staff to replace them. Although this behavior did not raise safety concerns, it added controversy to an already controversial event. The practice schedule was disrupted by a loose drain cover, resulting in the cancellation of the opening session and criticism towards F1 for not issuing refunds to disgruntled fans. As a result, a class action lawsuit was filed against F1 on behalf of 35,000 fans, prompting Max Verstappen to express his frustration by saying he would “tear the whole place down” if he were a fan.
