FIA issues a formal warning to F1 driver Isack Hadjar after paddock push

On Saturday, Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar received a formal warning following an incident at the Mexico City Grand Prix paddock. The Frenchman was rushing to the first practice session on Friday when he stopped to take a photo with a young fan. Suddenly, a man approached Hadjar in an aggressive manner, prompting a confrontation.

One security personnel, unable to intervene, watched in dismay as the driver resisted the guest's advances by placing his hand on the guest's waist, holding him back. Hadjar then pushed the guest aside using his right hand. The stewards deemed Hadjar in breach of regulations, acknowledging the uninvited and aggressive nature of the driver's actions.

They also took into account Hadjar's lack of adequate security and previous incidents involving other drivers in the paddock.
