In response, the Las Vegas-based\u200b Dimopoulos Law Firm and co-counsel JK Legal &#038; \u2064Consulting\u2063 have \u200dtaken legal action against the\u200d Las Vegas Grand \u200bPrix and\u200c its owner, Liberty Media, \u200bseeking damages of at least $30,000.<\/p>\n<p>The frustration stemmed from the fact\u2063 that\u2063 those who \u200bhad purchased tickets for\u2064 the race&#8217;s opening night only\u2064 got to witness\u2064 nine minutes of action before\u200d Carlos Sainz Jr. damaged his \u2064Ferrari by running over a water valve cover.\u2064 This incident led\u2064 to a lengthy\u2062 delay of 2 1\/2 \u2063hours for the second session,\u2063 which \u200dfinally began\u200d at 2:30 a.m. local time\u2062 on\u2063 Friday. To\u200d compensate \u2063for \u2063the\u2062 inconvenience, race\u200d officials extended the \u200bpractice session from one \u2062hour to 90 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>However, the\u200c offer of\u2063 a $200 \u200bdiscount at the official\u2063 gift shop was only available to those\u2064 who held \u200bsingle-night \u200btickets for \u200cThursday. This left the majority of fans, who\u200d had three-day passes, feeling left\u2062 out. \u2063F1 president Stefano\u2063 Domenicali and Las Vegas Grand Prix CEO Renee \u200cWilm released a statement explaining that the decision to close \u2063the track to spectators was made \u2064for\u2062 safety and legal reasons.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>&#8220;We \u200chave \u2064all been to events, like concerts, games, and \u2063even other Formula\u2062 1 races, \u200cthat have \u200dbeen canceled because of\u200c factors \u2063like \u2064weather or technical \u200cissues,&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>the statement read. \u200b&#8221;It\u200d happens, \u200cand we hope people will \u2062understand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic\">The\u2062 Western Journal \u200dhas \u2064reviewed this Associated Press \u200bstory and may have altered it prior to publication\u2064 to ensure \u2063that it meets our editorial \u2063standards.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/las-vegas-grand-prix-hit-class-action-lawsuit-furious-formula-one-fans\/\">Las Vegas \u2063Grand Prix Hit with\u200b Class-Action Lawsuit from \u200cFurious Formula One Fans<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western \u200dJournal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> In what ways did the cancellation of the race and the disarray at the venue result in \u2063financial losses, emotional distress, and disappointment for\u2062 the fans<\/h2>\n<p><span>  He\u200b highly anticipated race.
