Originally Published 2 years ago — by Motorsport.com
The FIA has allowed Formula 1 drivers to conduct extra practice starts at the pit exit in Las Vegas after concerns were raised about the lack of practice due to red flags during FP1 and FP3. Teams were given permission to carry out practice starts during their final reconnaissance laps and were also allowed to cross the pit exit white line if necessary. Some teams expressed concerns about the start and the low level of grip on the track, but overall, the focus is on ensuring a good launch and surviving the first set of corners.
