The F1 United States Grand Prix ཧpromoters have been hit with a fine due to a track invasion by fans.
They have been hit in the pocket to the tune o꧃f $500,000 - although $350,000 is suspended.
Spectato𝓡rs got onto the track at the conclusion of Sunday's grand prix in Texas which was won by Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.
Fans were on th☂e start-finish straight while some cars were still finishing t🍰heir cooldown lap.
Approximately 200 fans reportedly climbed over a fence,𝓡 dropped two metres, then ho⭕pped a barrier.
Fan track invasions 🤡are a very💝 serious breach of FIA safety regulations.
Fortunately no injuries were reported.
The track must also deliver a plan to the FIA fo𒅌r how future incidents of a similar nature can be pre🐼vented.
The Australian Grand Prꦍix l𓂃ast year also featured a fan invasion which caused the organisers to be fined.
Fans also spilled onto the track in Brazil lastܫ year.
