That Opening Ceremony was an ABOMINATION !!!! Formula 1 should be embarrassed that they foisted that on their Fans...

[Carriage Hill]

The race is 1:00 AM — 3:00 AM?

[Lockbox]

Did not see, was it like a Vegas All Nude F1 Driver Review?

[Carriage Hill]

Why aren’t they racing during the afternoon??? Like normal people?

‘It is 99 per cent show and one per cent sporting event,’ said the 26-year-old. ‘I was just standing up there, looking like a clown.

‘I guess they (F1) still make money whether I like it or not. So it’s not up to me. But I’m not going to fake it.

‘I voice my opinion on positive things and negative things. That’s just how I am. And you know, some people like the show a bit more. I don’t like it at all.

‘I grew up just looking at the performance side of things. And that’s how I see it as well. I like to be in Vegas, but not so much for racing.’

F*** Lewis Hamilton.

Vegas is America’s bunghole.
It’s a depraved toilet.

Max is right.

Kylie Minogue, is it 1991 again? (I actually wish it was…)

[central_va]

>>Vegas is America’s bunghole.

NJ it's armpit.

[EEGator]

Agreed, and I lived in NJ and border it…

[Chode]

Amen...

There were also complaints about the opening ceremonies in Miami this year.

I also had the misfortune to catch this F1 Las Vegas-related event on YouTube with a bunch of celebrities driving F1 simulators on the Vegas track, with none of them taking it even halfway seriously.
