FIA reveal scale of work required to repair Las Vegas circuit after mulitple faults discovered
Considerable work was done overnight by the FIA to repair faults on numerous manhole covers around the Las Vegas Street Circuit. The second practice session was red-flagged when a loose manhole cover near Turn 17 was spotted, causing a delay before the session resumed. However, it was stopped again as the cover continued to move while cars passed over it. To prevent any more issues during the weekend, the problematic cover was welded shut, and 14 other faulty covers were repaired after a thorough inspection. An FIA spokesperson stated that the specific fault with the cover mechanism was addressed and additional welding was done on all covers near the racing line to ensure safety.
