F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and Las Vegas GP CEO Renee Wilm released a statement after fans in Nevada only caught a few minutes of practice before being escorted out of the event yesterday.

A 650-word statement was released explaining the situation but stopped short of apologising, as fans who purchased a single-day ticket were offered a $200 voucher for race merchandise.

“We have all been to events, like concerts, games and even other Formula 1 races, that have been cancelled because of factors like weather or technical issues. It happens, and we hope people will understand,” the statement, in part, read.

There has been no refund or discount announced for anyone who purchased a three-day ticket.
