"FIA Condemns Track Invasion at Brazilian GP; Calls it 'Unacceptable'"

The FIA has deemed the track invasion by spectators at the Brazilian GP as an "unacceptable situation" due to serious safety concerns. The governing body has requested race organizers to conduct a thorough investigation and present a remediation plan by January 30, 2024. The World Motor Sport Council may apply further penalties if necessary. The incident mirrored a similar unsafe condition at the 2023 Australian GP. Despite the breach, the Brazilian GP has secured a five-year contract extension, keeping it on the F1 calendar until 2030.

Safety concerns arise at Australian Grand Prix.

A fan was injured by debris from Kevin Magnussen's car during the Australian GP, but did not sustain any serious injuries. The Australian GP promoter, Andrew Westacott, also addressed the premature track invasion that occurred after the race, which breached F1 rules. The AGPC has been summoned to an investigation by FIA stewards. Westacott hopes that the outcome of the investigation will not result in a blanket ban on fans entering the circuit after the race.

Controversy and Chaos at the 2023 Australian Grand Prix.

The FIA stewards have published a ruling over the “unacceptable” Australian Grand Prix Formula 1 track invasion that posed “significant danger to the spectators, race officials and the drivers”. Of particular note in their ruling was the finding that Nico Hulkenberg’s stranded Haas car, which he had parked up post-race, proved reachable for spectators while it was in an “unsafe” state. The stewards have referred the matter to both F1’s governing body the FIA and specifically to the FIA World Motor Sports Council.

The FIA has requested that the promoter urgently present a formal remediation plan and conduct an investigation into how the breach occurred. The matter will be referred to the World Motor Sport Council for further investigation to determine whether any additional steps need to be taken or penalties applied beyond the remediation plan.
