Mexican GP reduces F1 paddock crowds to avoid security issues
Last year’s race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez experienced security issues due to the large number of fans and VIPs in the paddock. Spectators crowded the hospitality units and approached drivers, with incidents such as Pierre Gasly’s backpack being opened. Gasly and other drivers raised concerns about the uncontrollable number of people in the paddock. The Mexican Grand Prix organizers have now taken steps to reduce the roaming crowd and improve the paddock environment, in response to the drivers’ requests. They have also launched a marketing campaign urging spectators to show respect and understand that the paddock is a working area. Red Bull has increased security measures to protect Max Verstappen and other team members at upcoming races.
