I am curious, how many fans were still there at 1:30? At one point the tv presenting showed people being asked to leave and there wasn’t a stack of people left several hours after p1 was cancelled. Made me wonder whether if they were incapable of keeping all stadiums staffed, could they have funnelled the remaining people, if not too many, to the main grandstand (or say two) and closed all the others.
I do feel for the people but, especially those that may have only had tickets to day 1. Even those with 3 days missed out, wasted a day off work, etc, as a result.
It happens though…Spa 2021 being another similar situation where the crowd wasn’t necessarily ejected, but they didn’t see what they’d come for either.
