Max Verstappen, the talented Formula One driver from the Netherlands, recently voiced his criticism of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The race, which took place in October 2020, was the first Formula One race to be held in the United States since 2007.
Verstappen expressed his disappointment with the event, noting that the race was too focused on showmanship and not enough on the actual racing. He felt that the organizers of the event had gone too far in their attempts to make the race more exciting for spectators, and that this had taken away from the actual racing.
Verstappen was particularly critical of the use of fireworks during the race, which he felt was unnecessary and distracting. He also criticized the use of drones during the race, which he felt were intrusive and a distraction from the racing itself.
Verstappen’s comments have been echoed by other drivers, who have also expressed their dissatisfaction with the Las Vegas Grand Prix. They have argued that the focus should be on the racing rather than on showmanship, and that the organizers should have put more thought into how to make the race more exciting for spectators without detracting from the racing itself.
The criticism of the Las Vegas Grand Prix highlights an important issue in Formula One racing – how to balance showmanship and entertainment with the actual racing. While it is important to make races exciting for spectators, it is also important to ensure that the focus remains on the racing itself. This is something that Verstappen and other drivers have highlighted, and it is something that organizers should take into consideration when planning future races.
