Hadjar warned after Mexican paddock incident with F1 guest [WATCH]
MEXICO CITY: Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar was given a formal warning on Saturday after he pushed away a Formula One guest in the Mexico City Grand Prix paddock.
On Saturday, Red Bull driver Isack Hadjar was given a formal warning following an incident in the Mexico City Grand Prix paddock. Hadjar, who was eager to participate in the first practice session on Friday, stopped to take a photograph with a young fan. As a man approached him in an aggressive manner, Hadjar pushed the guest away, according to stewards who summoned him for a hearing.
One security guard was unable to intervene and stop the perceived invasion of Hadjar's personal space. The driver initially resisted, placing his hand on the guest's waist to keep him at bay, before pushing the guest aside with his right hand. While the stewards deemed Hadjar in breach of regulations, they considered several factors in mitigation.
These included the uninvited and aggressive nature of the action, Hadjar's lack of sufficient security, and the fact that others had also experienced difficulties moving through the paddock.
