The promoter of the United States Grand Prix was fined €500,000 by the FIA following a track invasion by spectators at the Circuit of The Americas.
The promoter of the United States Grand Prix has been hit with a substantial fine following a frightening track invasion. Approximately 200 spectators breached security measures at Circuit of The Americas during the event's cool-down laps, climbing a small barrier and a one-meter trackside wall to access the main straight, all while cars remained on the track.
The official letter from the Stewards explained:'Fact: A large group of spectators, estimated at approximately 200 people, in the grandstand alongside pit straight, climbed a small fence and dropped around 2 metres to the ground between the grandstand and the track debris fencing. They then went under the debris fencing and climbed over the trackside wall and then merged onto the main straight.
