F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix controversy as Mercedes and Red Bull break rules
There’s been controversy at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix after Mercedes and Red Bull broke curfew rules.
Neither team will be punished, however, as the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen look to win the main event in Sin City.
Both Mercedes and Red Bull broke curfew, working on their cars late into the night.
However, the FIA is refusing to punish either team with each side allowed to have two infringements. Neither have broken that curfew rule more than twice.
Mercedes also broke the rules at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix
