“A fan has been given a lifetime ban from Formula 1 after attacking two Ferrari supporters during the Mexico City Grand Prix. Video footage shared on social media showed a male fan climbing towards two individuals wearing Ferrari merchandise in the Foro Sol section of the stadium, while other spectators attempted to intervene. The fan violently struck both Ferrari supporters, causing one to fall to the ground. Before the situation escalated further, other fans managed to step in and stop the attacker. F1 quickly identified and ejected the individual from the event, and subsequently issued a lifetime ban for all future F1 events. This incident occurred after local hero Sergio Perez retired on the first lap due to contact with Charles Leclerc, resulting in some post-race booing towards Leclerc. The organizers of the Mexico City Grand Prix had launched the #RACEPECT campaign, urging fans to leave rivalries on the track and to follow the sportsmanship displayed by the drivers.”
