F1 fans had so many jokes about the Las Vegas loose drain cover that caused chaos

So much money spent for the Vegas race and a loose drain cover caused chaos.

Obviously, let’s start off with a fact: Drain covers around Formula 1 circuits can be a dangerous thing, and we’re glad that Carlos Sainz and the other drivers are safe after the Ferrari star saw his car get damaged by the problem in Las Vegas.

That said, given all the hype around the F1 race in Sin City and the concerns about weather, the track, the inconveniencing of locals, it’s just another absurdity it took just nine minutes before a track issue caused practice to be cancelled. Technically, it was a concrete frame around a water valve that came loose, causing dangerous debris.

With that in mind, here’s a roundup of all the jokes made about the drain cover that caused chaos:
