At the Las Vegas Grand Prix, followed by the eviction of fans by the International Automobile Federation (FIA) and the organizers of the event, Dimopoulos Law Firm and the JK Legal & Consulting firm sued Liberty Media (owner of the category ) for $30,000 in damages to spectators.
The conflict arose following the accident that Carlos Sainz suffered when he went over a poorly sealed manhole cover. In addition to the damage to the Ferrari car, the incident forced the stewards to inspect the track, generating a delay of two and a half hours and the eventual decision to evacuate all spectators from the circuit, without allowing them to re-enter to watch the second free practice. .
Thus, those who had tickets to see the entire first day were only able to watch nine minutes of action. The organization tried to compensate with a $200 discount in the official store; However, the claim continued since the official ticket prices were around and exceeded $1,000. Those who counted the pass for the three days did not receive this discount, since it only counted for those who had purchased the pass for the first day.
F1 president Stéfano Domenicali and Renne Wilm, executive director of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, released a statement on Friday saying they closed the track to spectators for “legal and safety reasons.” “We have all gone to events, such as concerts, games and even Formula 1 races that have been canceled due to factors such as weather or technical problems,” they said in a statement.
Sunday’s race will continue normally, starting at 5, televised by Star+.
