Opening practice was cance✤lled after just eight minutes after Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz struck a loose manhole cover, throwing F1’s newest race into chaos and cau🌟sing heavy delays to the schedule. 

After seeing fewer than 10 minutes of green fl𒊎ag action and waiting nearly five hours for second practice to get underway, spectators were removed from the grandstands before the session started. 

Organisers stated the decision to💫 clear fans out was a necess♔ary safety precaution. 

Fans have not been refunded or received an apology, with the only compensation coming in the form of a $200 voucher to spend at the venue’s merchandise sites for single-day t🌌icket holders. 

The Dimopoulos law firm working in conjunction with JK🍷 Legal & Consulting named F1 owners and race promoters Liberty Media Corporation, DBA Formula One Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix and TAB Contractors Inc as defendants.

It is seeking payments of “in excess” of $ꦇ30,000 per spectator, split equally between “general” and “special” damages, according to .

Dimopoulos says 35,000 spectators attended the track on Thursda🐠y. 

"A lot of fans probably don't even want that; they want their 🐠money back.

"There are also peripheral issues of what about the people that came in from ou📖t of town and paid f🍎or substantial airfare and hotels."

A spokesperson fo𓂃r the LVGP said: "We cannot comment on the litigation. Our focus is on ensu🧸ring that our fans have an entertaining experience in a safe and secure environment which is always our top priority."
