Radoye

Onda neka vrate narodu pare za ulaznice. Naravno, ne pada im napamet to da urade jer ipak je bas sve u parama narocito u Americi i narocito u Las Vegasu. Inace staza je super, jedan krug nisu u stanju da okrenu na njoj. Dobrodosli u vrli novi svet F1.

Sure thing, ali u USA postoji i opcija prekovremenog rada samo onda gazda mora da se isprsi visestruko za satnicu. Izgleda da je gazdi bilo lakse da sa tribina rastera publiku sa uredno placenim ulaznicama nego da plati radnike ekstra.

https://racer.com/2023/11/17/f1-and-las-vegas-gp-explain-practice-issues-but-dont-apologize/ Saopstenje u celosti: Our top priority at Formula 1 is the safety and security of our drivers, employees, and fans, the statement read. Responsibility for the oversight of a Formula 1 event falls with Formula 1 as the commercial rights holder of the sport, the FIA as the regulatory body, and the local promoter, in this case the Las Vegas Grand Prix. This is important for those who are new to racing to understand. Last night, approximately nine minutes into the first Free Practice session, a water valve cover broke on the straight on Las Vegas Boulevard. At that time the FIA, which is responsible for the safe running of the activities on the circuit, stopped the session so that we could look at the broken water valve cover and inspect the track. This has happened on occasion at other tracks at other races around the world. The precautionary step of removing all of the water valve covers on the entire track and filling them with sand and asphalt was undertaken. The entire process, from determination of the issue to remediation, took approximately five hours. The decision to remediate in this way was taken out of an abundance of caution and because the safety of drivers, trackside marshals and officials and our fans is always our highest priority. We thank the contractors who worked expeditiously to resolve the situation so quickly. As a result, the first Free Practice ended early. We moved ahead with the second Free Practice session at approximately 2:30 a.m. PT for 90 minutes. The decision to run the second Free Practice session at 2:30 a.m. PT was supported by all parties to ensure the sporting integrity of the remainder of the event. We would like to thank the drivers, mechanics and all the teams for their patience and commitment last night to ensure that we could run the session successfully. Now, let us turn to the fan experience. The delay in the start of the second Free Practice session from midnight to 2:30 a.m. PT created risks for our employees and our fans. We made the decision to close the fan areas that are under LVGP’s purview at 1:30 a.m. PT and send fans home. Let us explain why. First, we were concerned about our public safety and security officials who had been in service for a long time and who are being asked to work for the next three nights. We thank Clark County’s Metro. Second, we were concerned about our transportation employees who are responsible for driving our fans back to hotels. By Federal law, they were bumping up against the amount of time they can legally and safely drive buses. Finally, our hospitality staff needed the ability to clean and resupply our guest areas to ensure that the fan experience is optimal for everyone over the coming days. We know this was disappointing. We hope our fans will understand based on this explanation that we had to balance many interests, including the safety and security of all participants and the fan experience over the whole race weekend. 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. So how will we address this tonight? We have worked overnight to adjust our staffing plans across security, transportation and hospitality to ensure that we can function and serve fans with the best possible experience in the event of an extended race schedule. We are excited about the racing today and thank our entire team and our fans for their support. We know this is going to be a great event. With that, let’s get back to racing.

Poslednji put smo videli kompletno popunjen grid na VN Monaka 1995. Znaci vec skoro 30 godina placamo punu cenu za nekompletan proizvod.

Culi su se neki glasovi pred pocetak ovog trkackog vikenda koji su govorili da se zestoko kasni sa pripremom staze i da ona ne moze biti 100% spremna na vreme, izgleda da su bili u pravu i ra je posao zbrzan. Bice ovo jos jedna trka poput one prve u Saudi Arabiji gde ce najbitnije biti da svi iznesu zivu glavu. Jeb'o ih spektakl.

- Alfa Romeo i Alfa Tauri takodje donose bolide ofarbane specijalno samo za ovu trku. Drago mi je da su svim timovima prioriteti dobro odabrani: - Takodje, ponovo cemo imati ceremoniju najavljivanja vozaca kao u Majamiju: https://www.racefans.net/2023/11/16/pre-race-driver-intro-returns-at-vegas-for-first-time-since-unpopular-miami-debut/ - Vozaci kritikuju cenovnu politiku: https://www.racefans.net/2023/11/16/f1-must-tackle-incredibly-expensive-vegas-ticket-prices-leclerc/ - Takodje, brinu se da uz sav trud da se dizajnira staza dobra za trkanje da ce subotnja trka da bude smor: https://www.racefans.net/2023/11/16/russell-fears-las-vegas-track-designed-racing-exciting-race/ https://www.racefans.net/2023/11/16/verstappen-unimpressed-by-not-exciting-las-vegas-grand-prix-circuit/

Jbg presusio bunar kad se iz njega previse vode vuklo. Toliko su kvalitetnih mladih vozaca rasterali u ekspresnom proguravanju Ferstapena i potrazi za njegovom zamenom da je njihov program prestao da bude atraktivan za nadolazece generacije klinaca koji su sad otisli drugde. Nekad se trcalo u Red Bulov razvojni program a sad se glavom bez obzira bezi od njega, i za to je najveci krivac upravo Dr. Marko. Mozda sam zlurad ali ne mogu da kazem da mi je mnogo zao.

U koliko sati u nedelju po evropskom vremenu ce biti trke na bliskom istoku koje su za narednu sezonu zakazali subotom? Inace kad je Long Bic bio na kalendaru svetskog sampionata sa startom u podne po lokalnom vremenu to je bilo 9 uvece u Evropi, sasvim prihvatljivo za gledanje.

Da, dosta se to hajpuje ovde, Kianu Rivs radio. Nisam gledao, javi ako valja pa da ispratim. Valjda insu otisli u senzacionalizam kao sa DtS...

Najveci fijasko bi bio da timovi zbog (ne)uslova za voznju na totalno zelenoj stazi i niskih temperatura presede vecinu FP u boksovima, kvalifikacije budu cirkus sa puno prekida zbog sitnih cukanja i otpada na stazi koje treba pocistiti i onda trka vozic od starta do cilja gde se niko ne usudjuje da sidje sa idealne putanje i svi voze sa 70% gasa. Toliku su lozanu nadigli da bi nekakav smor vikend totalno ubio u pojam lokalnu publiku naviklu na instant zadovojstva - zbog cega i "klasicni" fudbal tesko prolazi na americkom trzistu. Ako bi bio nedajboze nekakav tezi udes plasim se da bi to samo jos vise nalozilo masu i da bi i F1 krenula u Naskarizaciju i igranje sa pravilima tako da se na svakoj trci garantuje bar jedna "big one" masovka...

- Prve slike sa staze: Meni ovo lici na igricu, vise je Need For Speed nego F1...

- VN Las Vegasa nece biti prva trka na kalendaru svetskog sampionata koja se vozi subotom (poslednji put smo to videli na VN Juzne Afrike 1985.) ali izgleda da i ovo zapocinje novi trend i ukazuje na pravac koji F1 namerava da zauzme - naime, prve dve trke naredne sezone takodje ce se voziti subotom. Tako da pocnite da se navikavate na novu normalnost... - Nove boje na bolidima koje sam pomenuo gore:

- Alpin, Ferari, Red Bul i Vilijams donose "specijalno" ofarbane bolide. Mora da ce ih to uciniti znacajno brzima. - Posto se trka vozi nocu predvidjaju se izuzetno hladne temperature podloge u rangu onih sa nekadasnjih zimskih testiranja u Spaniji. U kombinaciji sa novom podlogom, bez ikakvih pratecih serija na stazi i mogucom kisom tokom vikenda videcemo na sta ce to liciti. Vrlo moguce da ce bolidi da proklizavaju kao po ledu a ocekuju se brzine kao u Monci. Jeste da je ovo Vegas ali F1 se bas mnogo kocka... - F1 u Vegasu testira novi biznis model, naime umesto saradnje sa lokalnim promoterima i naplacivanja sankcije za to ovde sam FOM radi kompletnu promociju. Znaci ovo je ili pukovnik ili pokojnik, ulupali su silne milione u ovo i od uspeha ove trke zavisi kako ce ubuduce izgledati svet F1. Neke od novotarija koje ce ovde biti isprobane su da ce pristup stazi biti samo za VIP goste (veoma ogranicen broj veoma skupih ulaznica za tribine) dok se za sirotinju nudi gledanje preko video-bima "negde u okolini", a i to zadovoljstvo ce da kosta petstotinjak "zelenih suskavih razloga" (sto bi rek'o Br.1 iz Alan Forda). Ako ovo prodje mozemo ocekivati da ce da postane standardan model poslovanja, ako puknu ovde to verovatno znaci da puca i kompletan projekat "osvajanja Amerike" oko koga je Liberti gradio kompletnu strategiju.

VN Makaoa za F3 kategoriju je ponovo na programu nakon pauze zbog CoVid-19 - prosle godine je vozena za F4. Nezvanicno finale svetskog sampionata F3 tradicionalno okuplja krem mladih nadolazecih snaga i buducih asova u najvisim kategorijama auto-sporta. Ove godine posebnu draz dace i nekoliko gostiju koji se samo za ovu priliku vracaju u F3. Tu je nekoliko vec etabliranih F2 vozaca - Fersor, Hauger, Hadzar, Stanek, tu su Tiktam iz Formule E i Armstrong iz Indikara, a tu je i podmladak nekadasnjih F1 vozaca - Sebastijan Montoja i Carli Vurc. Tu je i Ferarijev junior i Bosanac iz Svedske Dino Beganovic a i Sofija Flers koja je 2018. ovde imala stravican udes.

Posto su izjavili da ulaze samo u paketu s Andretijem, da vidim kakav ce sada izgovor da nadju timovi i FOM da nastave da ih blokiraju...
