Formula 1<\/a> fans infuriated at being forced to leave the Las Vegas Grand Prix venue early<\/a> on the first night have filed a class-action lawsuit.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas-based Dimopoulos Law Firm and co-counsel JK Legal & Consulting filed the lawsuit against the Las Vegas Grand Prix and its owner, Liberty Media, in Nevada state court seeking at least A$46,000 in damages.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur focus is on ensuring that our fans have an entertaining experience in a safe and secure environment which is always our top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some 35,000 people who bought tickets to the race's opening night saw just nine minutes of action before Carlos Sainz ran over a drain cover and damaged his Ferrari<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Race officials inspected the course, which resulted in a several-hour delay for the second session, which began at 2.30am local time. They also extended the practice session from an hour to 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

Race officials have since offered a $200 discount at the official gift shop<\/a>, but only for those who held single-night tickets. The majority of fans have three-day passes.<\/p>\n

F1 president Stefano Domenicali and Renee Wilm, CEO of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, issued a statement saying they closed the track to spectators for safety and legal reasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n
