FIA: Brazilian GP F1 track invasion was "unacceptable situation"
Following Max Verstappen’s victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix, a large group of spectators entered the circuit prematurely, posing serious safety concerns. Although there were no injuries, race officials were summoned by the stewards due to the unsafe environment. The FIA ruled that security protocols and safety measures were not adequately enforced or sufficient. The race organizers admitted their failures and agreed with the FIA’s assessment that this situation was unacceptable and potentially disastrous. To address these concerns, Brazilian GP officials must conduct a thorough investigation and present a formal remediation plan to the FIA by January 30, 2024. Further penalties may be applied by the World Motor Sport Council. Despite these issues, the Brazilian GP has secured a five-year contract extension, ensuring its presence on the F1 calendar until 2030.
