“The inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix was both highly anticipated and highly criticized. While some journalists declared it a success, many derided it as a failure. The discrepancy in opinions can be attributed to the fact that many negative comments were made by individuals who did not attend the event, whereas I was there personally. As someone who has been involved in motorsports for 30 years, this was the first time in three decades that I attended a racing event purely as a spectator. The allure of a Formula 1 race within a one-hour flight, without the need for a rental car, and with a hotel within walking distance of the circuit compelled me to attend. However, the event was not without its issues, particularly with the drainage system during the first practice sessions. Although this is a common problem for inaugural street races, the lack of communication with paying spectators regarding the delays was a significant failure on the part of the organizers. Despite the challenges, the event showcased the excitement and spectacle of Formula 1 racing.”
