FIA branded ‘shocking’ after another near-miss with F1 marshals in Las Vegas
Marshals were running off track early in the race, just as Max Verstappen stormed down the start-finish straight
The FIA were under fire again after another close shave with marshals on track at the start of the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
After Liam Lawson narrowly missed two marshals at the Mexico City GP last month, F1’s governing body will have more questions to answer after the incident on lap two in Vegas.
Following clashes on track at the start of the race at turn one, pieces of debris needed to be cleared on track.
However, despite marshals ahead waving double-waved yellow flags, numerous marshals were still running off the track when race leader Max Verstappen entered the start-finish straight.
Sky F1 pit lane reporter Ted Kravitz labelled the incident “shocking”, blaming the communication from race control.
Verstappen took the lead at the start and held on to win, with Lando Norris taking second and George Russell third.
