The presence of the Las Vegas Grand Prix in the Formula 1 calendar did not start on the right foot. In the first free practice, a manhole cover led to the cancellation of the session.
Carlos Sainz passed by the location of the object with his Ferrari, which came loose when the cement around it gave way and caused damage to the car. Naturally, a red flag was shown, and the cause of the incident was later understood.
As a result, a red flag was shown, and the session was ultimately canceled in order to check all the manhole covers on the track.
Watch the moment of the incident with Sainz.
