The penultimate date of the season will have a remarkable rule in this weekend’s races in the American city.
This weekend there will be a historic race in Las Vegas with the return of Formula 1 after 41 years and one of the curiosities of the penultimate date of the season is the word ban “paddock“in honor of the memory of a tragedy.
The reason the term referring to the area behind the garages where the teams and some spectators are located cannot be officially named is not a request from the city, but a decision made by the State of Nevada.
The reason is the memory of an event in Las Vegas Village that took place on October 2, 2017 where the counter Stephen Craig Paddock killed 60 people and injured more than 800 at a concert Route 91 Haverstconsidered one of the greatest misfortunes in recent years in the United States.
Las Vegas Village massacre details
25 thousand people were outside enjoying the show when Craig Paddock fired shots into the open field for 10 minutes and at first, those present did not understand what was happening, mistaking the shots for fireworks and music.
When they realized that they were shots coming from the 32nd floor of the Mandala Bay hotel It is too late to mourn the victims and When the police accessed the killer’s location, he was dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and they found 25 weapons, explosives and ammunition..
The event is remembered not only in the city but also in the whole country and for that reason, the organization of the Grand Prix wants to show solidarity with the victims by avoiding the word that remembers what happened and They assured that in its place there will be a new term.
