Christian Horner wants to see a major change made to the Las Vegas Grand Prix in future years after a "brutal" weekend in Sin City.
Red Bull came away from Vegas with yet another win under their belt. Max Verstappen marked his 18th victory and the team's 20th in an extraordinarily dominant year, while team-mate Sergio Perez ended his 11-week podium drought to finish third.
That happened on Saturday night local time in a departure from tradition. The new Vegas event is a night race with organisers keen to have the city's famous skyline as the backdrop to the action.
But the timings were very late indeed. Qualifying started at midnight while the race itself only began at 10pm, meaning American viewers on the east coast were up until the small hours. And a delayed practice saw FP2 end at 4am local time on Friday morning.
The strange hours took a toll on all involved and Red Bull team principal Horner wants that addressed. "It's been brutal. I think everybody's leaving Vegas slightly f***ed," he declared.
"We need to look at how we can improve that. Maybe run it a little earlier in the evening? You're never going to keep every television audience totally happy. This is an American race. If you ran at 8pm or something like that, it would just be a bit more comfortable for those working behind the scenes."
Despite an inauspicious start to the weekend, an exciting race left everyone feeling much better about this new street track and the Las Vegas event as a whole. Ferrari chief Frederic Vasseur said it was "probably the best race of the season" while Mercedes boss Toto Wolff waxed lyrical about it.

"That was an awesome weekend," declared the Austrian. "Spectacular race, great audiences, mega event, some good racing at the front. That's what I will remember of the inaugural Las Vegas race that ticked all the boxes."
And Lewis Hamilton loved every second of racing on the track. "There have been many people being so negative about the 'show' and all that. Just let it be and see how it goes. This is like Baku but better," said the seven-time world champion.
"It is a huge win for Formula 1. People have talked about bringing old classics back from Europe but this has provided a better race than most of the tracks we go to, so hats off to the people who run it. I cannot wait to come back and hopefully have a better race next year."
