These are the images that astounded Formula 1 fans. On Sunday, April 2nd, the Australian Grand Prix took place, which Max Verstappen (Red Bull) won after a twisty and twisty race. But it was the behavior of some of the 131,000 spectators that got people talking after the GP. Indeed, the fans managed to break through the safety barriers by climbing the railings. As Australian Grand Prix official Andrew Westacott complained, they managed to occupy the track early and approach the cars that were still running. “We have a lot of CCTV cameras and a lot of footage to review over the next two weeks”It was announced on the antenna of the Australian channel ABC. “Motorsports could be dangerous (…), scary”The leader lamented, according to comments reported by RMC Sports. The International Automobile Federation (FIA) decided to hold the organizers accountable for considering this serious incident to be a violation of sporting rules.
Spectators were particularly close to German Nico Hülkenberg’s Haas, which was parked at the exit of Turn 2. “Safety measures and protocols that were required for the event were not implemented, creating an unsafe environment for spectators, drivers and race officials”He regretted the FIA. “After the race is over and the safety car has passed, spectators are allowed to enter the track”but recalled the director of the Australian Grand Prix. “The audience has crossed one of the barriers, we don’t know how yet”added Andrew Westacott. Sportingly, it was double world champion Max Verstappen who won the Grand Prix. He is currently 15 points ahead of teammate Sergio Pérez in the drivers’ standings.
