Las Vegas GP resolves lawsuit regarding the 2023 drain-cover incident.
The lawsuit initially demanded $5 billion.
Formula 1’s Las Vegas Grand Prix and its parent company, Liberty Media, have agreed to pay over $3 million to resolve a class-action lawsuit resulting from the tumultuous opening night of the inaugural 2023 race. A malfunctioning water-valve cover caused damage to several cars during the first practice session and led to a delay of approximately two and a half hours, during which spectators were asked to leave, causing them to miss the resumed session. As reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, fans with either one-day practice tickets or three-day race tickets may qualify for compensation. Liberty Media and the Las Vegas GP did not acknowledge any wrongdoing as part of the settlement. The lawsuit was originally filed in 2023 with a claim for $5 billion. A portion of the case was dismissed in February 2025, but an amended complaint allowed the proceedings to continue, eventually resulting in the settlement.
