One thing people always seem to overlook with fences and the like blocking the view. It is about money, but it's also about safety. Sidewalks and bridges must remain clear to foot traffic. You can't have 100 people cramming on to a foot bridge until it collapses on to the track. You can't have people trapped by a crowd. If Vegas natives think it's hard to walk around the current set up, just imagine if people could crowd around the circuit to watch for free.

Exactly

You guys need to clip the end of this and show to Oscar if/when he becomes world champion in a few years. 😂

The girl gives WTF1 vibes during its peak when Matt and Tommy were there.

Regarding manhole covers, I wonder if part of the solution would be to change the center of gravity of them. Perhaps if they hung a 40lb. weight underneath them, in addition to welding them down.

[@Redlingstein]

They closed them off with cement. Its no issue now

Though I understand and agree that within a certain perimeter around an event you need to close things of, but as we also have seen around football matches. That line is drawn further and further where, it serious starts to infringe on local businesses, and their advertising signs and people living/working in surrounding area. So this bs excuse, it's business so everything needs just roll over for F1 (or any other event for that matter) is just bs.

Why do you slag Vegas ! As a uk bloke that has no interest in gambling many places don’t even have casinos in them each hotel on the strip n down town have 100’s of things to do watch and take part in!!
