Watch: Las Vegas Formula 1 Race Off to Disastrous Start After Ferrari Catches Fire in Practice

The 🎰Las Vegas Grand Prix hit a bump in the road — literally — as practice began Thursday.

Driver Carlos Sainz Jr. struck the concrete frame of a water valve cover, badly damaging his Ferrari, according to CBS.

Sparks flew from beneath the car after the collision.

Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur called the incident “just unacceptable.”

“It is unacceptable for F1. You would be upset in this situation,” he said.

A statement from F1 🎰Las Vegas said “a single water valve cover … failed.” Local crews were called in, but a midnight practice was delayed.
