Sleepy 😂 bruh
1st practice in and a water pipe cover destroyed a Ferrari. It’s happening at midnight where there is freezing temps, the tires won’t heat up. The hotel workers might strike, and the residents have to pay extra taxes for all this. It’s going to be a disaster.
Why is this woman reporting on something she clearly has no clue on?
What a fiasco!
There is a LOT of gumption suggesting that F1 was a sleepy sport before the Americans got involved. Shocking to hear that. But not surprising coming from American journalists.
F1 is sleepy?
Did she say F1 is a sleepy motorsport? WoW that is insane. Ignorance.
You guys are absolutely clueless….
Sleepy Motorsport.
You’ve got to stop watching the Monaco Grand Prix!
$800 for a ticket 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Formula 1 is too complicated for the tiny brains of Americans
Sleepy sport? I’ve been following f1 for more than 30 years
Wait, so America is bigger than Europe?
That's the first time I've ever heard F1 described as "sleepy." 😂
She clearly knows zero about the history of F1.
12 G's for a ticket? I think I'll stick to my local dirt track!!!
So much cluelessness in this video.
1. The track also being used as roads most of time is VERY common in F1.
2. F1 was huge, by far the biggest motorsport in the world for a very long time before USians started noticing it!
3. Being a night race is not unique, although it is the latest time of night.
Did she really call F1 "sleepy"?
"Drivers used to not be allowed on social media" 😂😂😂 #FakeNews
Dang 600mil jus to make 1mil on ticket sales lol
America please stick to nascar, thank you.
Genius Move F1! Have a race at Midnight to Attract American interest?
Sleepy? Excuse me? American point of view of the world.
I have to add this to my list of
STUPID HUMAN TRICKS
BS…City and County footing a big percentage of that bill, not to mention the inconvenience of the locals where they don't see the benefits!
Calling f1 a sleepy motorsport before liberty is insane. Its been the biggest motorsport series by far for a while
Big bet on the us yet they're shutting out the East Coast starting at 1am.
Sleepy? The reason Liberty bought out Bernie is because Bernie made it a licence to print money worldwide. The reason f1 didn't break the US is due to the parochiality of the US.
GO RED BULL…
F-1, THANK YOU FOR FIXING THE ROAD.
WHEN F-1 LEAVE, I'LL TOUR THE STRIP🫶🇺🇸🫡
Yea the locals hate the mess but they don't get a voice in the matter.
"It was a sleepy motorsport for the purests loved in Europe and South America" wow smdh
Nobody wants that crap in Vegas.
DEMO CHUMP TOWER 🗼🤡 CHARGE AN ADMISSION 🎟️ FEE
HAVE A SWIFTIE CONCERT 🤑
This is classic mainstream media coverage. No mention how F1 has treated locals in Vegas and the small businesses
People complaining about money being spent in their community in the comments section. Lol.
Liberty Media bets big, not F1. It is all flash covering up the trash that is Vegas.
Sounds like a clusterfack
F1 has ruined Vegas and the locals and tourists hate how much it has altered the Strip. I was there two weeks ago and it was a mess to get around easily.
When you base your point on inflated number's , you will get inflated results.
