Las Vegas Grand Prix session CANCELLED following Sainz red flag
Carlos Sainz experienced a disastrous start to his Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend when his car suddenly stopped working within the first 10 minutes of the first practice session (FP1). This unexpected mechanical issue forced him to retire early and deprived him of valuable track time. The incident not only affected his ability to fine-tune his car’s setup but also put him at a significant disadvantage compared to his competitors who were able to continue their practice sessions uninterrupted. Sainz and his team now face the challenge of diagnosing and resolving the problem before the qualifying and race sessions, in order to have a fighting chance for a successful weekend.
