- Yuki Tsunoda, a 24-year-old Japanese Formula One driver, was detained for questioning by U.S. border officials upon arrival for the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
- Tsunoda reported being interrogated for several hours despite having all necessary travel documentation in order.
- The driver speculated that his casual attire, including pyjamas, may have contributed to the officials' skepticism about his identity as an F1 racer.

- Tsunoda was traveling ahead of his team for promotional events and has since been cleared to compete in the upcoming race.
