"The CEO of Formula One's owners Liberty Media, Greg Maffei, has
issued an apology for the disruption brought to Las Vegas, after
workers expressed disquiet over the impact the sport has had on
infrastructure.

[...]

"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. "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 benefit in Las Vegas. We hope
this is the most difficult year with all the construction that went on
and things will be easier in the future."

Early November is traditionally a quieter time for Las Vegas but the
city is demonstrably filling up with race fans. Red Bull, Ferrari and
Mercedes tops are increasingly apparent on the tables and slots of the
casinos but the additional visitors - 105,000 are expected to attend
the race alone - all have to be catered for."

Better bring a lot of money to the casinos or this will be a very short lived venue.

Fuck that, they need to apologise to everyone who watches Battlebots,
as they've delayed the filming of the 2023 series. That's millions of
people all round the world.

The rights-holders have even taken the desperate measure of promising
the viewers that they will release an old tournament that was filmed,
never intended for public release and because of that the results have
already been de-embargoed, just to help bridge the gap.
