F1 apologises to Las Vegas for disruption caused by new night race

• Some residents and workers remain sceptical of event
• Concerns over construction, accessibility and traffic

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.

Las Vegas will host its first F1 race for over 40 years on Saturday and for the first time it will run down the Strip in the centre of the city. Work on the project has been ongoing for over nine months and has included resurfacing of the roads that will make up the track, and building of an extensive and permanent pit and paddock complex.
