2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix - Las Vegas, Nov 16 - 18

Too many distractions perhaps the important details weren't checked

That isn’t a broken weld. That’s a complete failure of the casing and took a chunk of asphalt with it.

The more reason why they should've tested their asphalt and welds. They literally poured the topping at the last minute... meanwhile they spent more time overhyping this Monaco wannabe race. Hope they give back 45min to fp2

Sounds like a significant amount of time is required to inspect and correct the issue throughout the circuit. The FIA is already indicating the likelihood of schedule changes. I fear track time is going to be lost, rather than added, at this point.

Most avoidable thing ever...

Literally a known issue after every street track in the world.

Loose frame which cover installs in. Completely new issue, unknown before.

Having seen the photos, I'd go with somewhere in the middle of "blindingly obvious" and "how on earth did that happen".

I doubt they'll have a solid fix in time for FP2. They'll also have to inspect all the other dozens or hundreds of covers...

Martin Brundle thinks that we won't get FP2 at all today

That is not a manhole, what is it?

Zhou Onboard of Sainz crash. Looks insane from behind.

Water valve, likely for a hydrant seeing how it’s at an intersection.

The casing is encased in concrete. The whole top of casing broke.

Yes I'm sure no corners were cut at all..

[Hoffman900]

Also, can they stop calling it a manhole. It’s a water valve cover.

More than one drain issue has been found..

[Hoffman900]

We have some beautiful purpose built tracks in the US without these issues…

And even without an upgrade, are way safer than these concrete jungles.

I mean, the cover specifically has the word "Water" written on the top of it. Ha.

[AR3-GP]

It seems like the cars are bottoming in this area, although I'm unsure if chicken before the egg, and it's just Sainz's floor that rubbed after the catastrophic detachment:

That would have to be a very tiny man
