P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Drivers were left complaining about safety fears at last year’s Mexican Grand Prix but changes have been made to ensure no such threat returns this season, at the cost of fan access.
F1 and the organisers of the Mexico City Grand Prix have limited the number of fans allowed in the paddock due to safety concerns. Last year, there were issues with overcrowding and fans mobbing drivers as they moved throughout the circuit. Some drivers also expressed concerns about their personal belongings being tampered with or stolen. To address these issues, Red Bull has assigned bodyguards to Max Verstappen for this weekend’s race to ensure his safety. The tensions between Verstappen and Sergio Perez’s fans have been high, with Perez feeling mistreated by his team, leading to booing directed at Verstappen during the United States Grand Prix. The aim is to ensure a safe and orderly environment for all drivers and fans at the event.
