F1’s action-packed first race in Las Vegas since 1982 came at the end of a week in which the event had faced criticism and controversyꦛ with track running getting off to an inauspicious start on Thursday. 

Several drivers complained about the extra promotional duties they had surrounding the event, which 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen labelled as being “99% show and 1% sport”. 

Verstappen was the loudest voice against the race and said he was made to feel like a “c♏lown” in what 𒊎he felt was an unnecessary star-studded opening ceremony on Wednesday evening. 

A🏅sked to draw a comparison between the new Las Vegas street track and Monaco, Verstappen also quipped: “I think Monaco is like [the] Champions League and this is like National League.”

But Haas driver Magnussen believes such negative opinions did not need to bܫe aired publicly. 

“It’s fine to have an opinion, maybe you should keep it for yourself,” Magnussen🍎 said. 

“At the end of the day we’re all on pretty good salaries, living a good life, and that’s all because of this. So at the end of the day maybe we shou﷽ld show a little bit more appreciation.”

Meanwhile, his Mercedes boss Toto Wolff felt that early criticism of the event was o💧verblown.

"Lots of things that wer♛e said look a little bit out of proportion or too negative because we ꦯare leaving Las Vegas after a great weekend," he said.

"I think it will have increased the popularity of Formula 1 in the United Sta𓂃🌃tes, for sure. There is nothing negative that I can find. 

"The drain cover was nothing, like 𒁏I said. When I look back at tonight; a spectacular race, great audiences, a mega event and some good 🦋racing at the front, that’s what I will remember of the inaugural Las Vegas race that ticked all of the boxes.”
