Lewis Hamilton calls on F1 to be “respectful of the locals” amid complaints about Las Vegas GP

F1’s return to Las Vegas for the first time since 1982 has been m✃et with an unprecedent🐈ed amount of hype.
Work on the new track has resulted in an incredible amount of disruption for 🦄local residen🍎ts.
Slow t🐓raffic and inconvenient pedestrian paths, on top of the construction work causing the expected visual and noise pollution, has resulted in complaints.
As a result, Liberty Medi⛦a CEO Greg Maffei, was forced to issu✱e an apology.
“I want to apologise to all the Las Vegas residents and we appreciate that they have their forbearance and their willingness to tolerate us,” he said. ൩;
“We’re going to bring something like $1.7bn of revenue to the area. So it’s not just for the benefit of fans who want to view. We hope this is a great economic bꦦenefit in Las Vegas.
“We hope this is the most difficult year with all the construction ൲that went on and t♔hings will be easier in the future.”

Speaking at an AMG x IWC event in Vegas, Hamilton gave his view on the disruption ๊for the local people.
“I’ve heard there’s been a lot o🍸f complaints about the event being here from the locals and I think we have to be respectful of the locals here,” he said. “There’s so many here, working so hard,𝕴 there’s a lot of money and wealth in this city, and also the places we’re going, in this industry.
“We’ve got to make sure that people are taken care of I think. We can’t be a circus thatඣ shows up that’s all glitz and glamour, and people are affected negatively by it.”
