Six-figure fine for F1 United States GP promoter after track invasion
Fan misconduct in Texas results in a b🗹ig fine for promoter
The F1 United Sꦆtates Grand Prix promoters have been hit with a fine due to a🐷 track invasion by fans.
Thꦗey have been hit in the pocket to the tune of $500,000 - although $350,000 is suspended.
Spectators got onto the t🍸rack at the conclusion of Sunday's grand prix in Texas which was won by Ferrar♉i's Charles Leclerc.
Fans were on the starཧt-finish straight while some cars were still finishing their cooldown lap.
Approximately 200 fan꧟s reportedly climbed over a fence, dropped two metres, then hopped a barrier.
Fan track invasions are a very serious breach of FIA safety 🦋regulation🍒s.
Fortunately no injuries were reported.
The track must also deliver a plan to the 🍎FIA for how future incidents of a si𓄧milar nature can be prevented.
The Australian Grand Prix last year also featured a fan invasion which caused the organi🔯sers to be fined.
Fans 🌸also spilled onto the t✃rack in Brazil last year.
