The Las Vegas GP‘s opening ceremony was conducted at the Las Vegas GP street circuit in Nevada. Formula 1 streamed the entire pre-recorded show on its X account for all the fans to see the show. The Las Vegas GP’s ceremony had some points that the fans shared their dislikes about.
The show saw the fans of the musical world and the motorsport fans come together as many famous artists performed on the grand stage at the Las Vegas GP. Artists such as Andra Day, Bishop Briggs, and J Balvin, Will.i.am, Tiesto, Kylie Minogue, John Legend, and others performed at the show. Additionally, they saw guest appearances by the Blue Man Group and Cirque du Soleil.

The artists covered the paddock areas and the podium areas where they performed while the fans occupied the stands and got an amazing view of the entire show. They flooded the circuit with lights of different colors and styles to make the show look more fashionable.
F1 utilized the infamous Las Vegas GP Sphere, which cost around $2 Billion, to their advantage. The Sphere lit up with color schemes of Formula 1 and accompanied the mega opening ceremony at the Las Vegas GP.
Fans brutally criticized the Pre-Recorded opening ceremony
In a recent tweet on X, fans have shared their opinions about the pre-recorded show. A certain fan claimed that the show was a ‘cringeshow’ and added that it should’ve been a live television rather a pre-recorded show. The show started late on the tweet, and a fan criticized F1 on this since they were late to stream a pre-recorded show.

Some fans called the show cringe and claimed that the ceremony was over-the-top and irrelevant to F1. Some fan also called the entire weekend a circus rather than a racing weekend from Formula 1. Another fan claimed that the show massively underwhelmed him and added that he will have to suffer through the entire show.

At least you aren't claiming it's "live" anymore. No idea why you couldn't actually televise it live.

This opening ceremony is very cringe. Who cares about the singers. What a disappointment. Want to see stuff about the track and the cars.

15 minutes late start to a "live" video that you actually taped 3 hours ago. Ridiculous.

This weekend is a circus… This is not Formula 1. This weekend is not about a sport that is suppose to be the Pinnacle of Motor Sport.

I'm cringing already. This is going to be such a shit F1 weekend. It's trying too hard and going to be awful to watch.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix has been massively trolled by the fans at this point. Although the actual track might offer great racing action, but the shows and ceremonies prior to the race might be unnecessary as the fans are not liking the flashy shows put forth by F1. Hence, FIA and Liberty Media need to desperately reconsider what is necessary for the race weekend and what’s not necessary.
