Carlos Sainz backs ‘unacceptable’ Las Vegas claim: ‘We’ve been quite vocal’
Carlos Sainz has supported Fernando Alonso’s assertion that the placement of the Las Vegas Grand Prix on the F1 calendar is unacceptable and requires adjustments. The Las Vegas race marks the beginning of a demanding triple-header, with subsequent races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi following immediately after, a pattern to be repeated next season. Concerns have been raised about the current calendar by multiple individuals in the F1 community. Williams driver Sainz, in agreement with Alonso’s sentiment, has disclosed that he and his colleagues have communicated their concerns to F1’s CEO Stefano Domenicali. Sainz suggested that a more favorable schedule would involve a back-to-back arrangement with Brazil prior to the Middle East races, eliminating the need for European travel in between. Ultimately, the consensus is that the current triple-header sequence is not beneficial for anyone involved in Formula 1.
