Formula One F1 - Las Vegas Grand Prix - Las Vegas Strip Circuit, Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. - November 15, 2023 Ferrari's Charles Leclerc talks to the media ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix REUTERS/Finn Blake Acquire Licensing RightsLAS VEGAS, Nov 16 (Reuters) - The first practice session of the Las Vegas Grand Prix was cancelled on Thursday just eight minutes in to repair the track after a faulty water valve cover badly damaged Carlos Sainz's Ferrari. Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur said two-thirds of the car would need to be changed out and called the situation "unacceptable." "These cars are generating huge amounts of suction underneath now," said Williams Racing team principal James Vowles. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff lashed out at a reporter who asked how the cancelled practice was not a "black eye" for F1. The brief first test of the course along the transformed Strip marks F1's return to Las Vegas for the first time in nearly 40 years.
