SEPANG: Some Formula One (F1) fans were forced to walk almost 18km after becoming frustrated with hours-long waits for shuttle buses following the first day of the F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) yesterday.
Thousands of fans crowded the designated bus waiting areas after the second practice session (FP2), with some claiming they had to wait up to three hours or longer to board buses taking them out of the circuit area.
The congestion and disorder at the bus waiting areas prompted widespread complaints on social media, with several fans sharing photos and videos of the situation.
Some also claimed they had to walk along the shoulder of the motorway after giving up on waiting for shuttle buses.
