[ID: image 1: tweet by David Sánchez Olmos (@DSORacing) - Se reporta que por ley en Nevada, las coladeras no podían ser soldadas como se habia venido haciendo en los demás circuitos callejeros donde corre la F1. Translated from Spanish by Google: It is reported that by law in Nevada, the drains could not be welded as had been done in the other street circuits where F1 races. Quote-tweet by Spanners (@SpannersReady) - I am desperately hoping this isn't true. If this is true it's really really bad. It can't be true. They didn't not weld it but just hope some sealant would hold it. It can't be. Image 2: Tweet by The Engineer (@Engineer_LXIX): I can understand why. There's been some notable casino fires with a lot of deaths over the years. Nevada doesn't want to add risk/reduce coverage of fire suppression, just for the f1 circus. /end ID] EDIT 23:15 UK time 17/11/2023 - There was an error in how this was reported. There are alternative means of fire suppression in Las Vegas, including the part where the F1 cars race, so the provided explanation is not true. Thanks to @vegasgrandprix for providing improved information.
They should not be fucking racing in the streets of Vegas im so tired of screaming the same thing over and over
#f1#las vegas gp 2023#law#jurisdiction friction#I am content with Nevada's right to set its own laws#I am not content with the FIA deciding not to take this into account when doing track inspections#this is clearly not a track that passed a meaningful circuit inspection#article 5.2 of appendix o of the international sporting regulations means this is an infraction of the inspection process#and the standard penalty for that is revocation of circuit licence for 12 months#by rights Las Vegas should be off the calendar in 2023 and 2024#also seconding Twitter user @colbee 's idea that all drivers should be given free engine/gearbox/cockpit in compensation#it may remind the FIA never to attempt such corner-cutting again#Liberty isn't worth it#no one's money is worth it
