Internet fact-checks Paris Hilton after she calls racing event 'first-ever Formula One in Las Vegas'

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Paris Hilton recently attended a Formula One race held at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit on Saturday. The pop singer recently took to her Instagram and shared a series of photos from the motor racing event.

For the event, Paris looked elegant as she opted for race-appropriate attire including a chic all-black leather outfit with matching leather gloves. However, Paris' caption received backlash as she called the latest racing event as 'first-ever Formula One in Las Vegas'.

She wrote, "So incredible getting to be a part of the first-ever Formula One in Las Vegas!😍 Such an incredible time watching history!! 💙✨🏎️ @F1 #LVGP 🔥."

For the unaware, the first-ever Caesars Palace Grand Prix's Formula One motor race was held in 1981 in Las Vegas. It was the fifteenth and final race of the 1981 FIA Formula One World Championship.

Meanwhile, the consecutive year followed the event marking the sixteenth and final race of the 1981 FIA Formula One World Championship. However, the 2023 F1 race marked the first event in Las Vegas in 41 years.

The social media users took to the comment section and slammed Paris for messing up with the F1 historical details. An Instagram user commented, "It is not the “first ever F1 in Las Vegas “. We had that in 1982 Gran Prix of Ceasers."

Another critic added, "Actually, the first race in LV was back in 1981." Another user said, "F1 first raced in Las Vegas in 1981 and 1982, but I get what you mean."

Another follower noted, "Most celebrities walking around the pits. They don’t know anything about the sport." "It was not the first f1 race in Las Vegas they raced there in the 80’s," added another person.

Another social media user wrote, "Did you know that there was a Caesars Palace Grand Prix back in 1981-1982 🤔🙃? In 1982, the late Michele Alboreto, who went on to win, was greeted by Diana Ross 😜."
