Mick Akers: Las Vegas reporter recaps the F1 Vegas season

 

Chaos on day one at Formula 1's brand new Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Practice one was abandoned less than nine minutes after Carlos Sainz ran over a loose manhole cover, badly damaging his Ferrari.

Practice two was then delayed by two and and half hours, with fans forced to leave to leave in order to comply with local laws.

Las Vegas reporter Mick Akers joined Elliott Smith to recap the chaotic start to the event.
