This latest safety risk comes just a week after an FIA gaffe allowed a group of photographers into parc ferme before the Azerbaijan Grand Prix had concluded.
Formula 1 faces further questions about pit lane safety after footage emerged of another worrying near miss.
The racer did not need to swerve to avoid hitting the man, but it was a close call. An F1 spokesperson told Mirror Sport that the FIA is responsible for operating the pit lane during a Grand Prix. It is common practice as all the drivers have usually made their mandatory stops by that point, but that wasn't the case in Baku. Esteban Ocon was yet to pit after taking a strategy gamble and, as he arrived at the pit lane entrance, some of the people gathered there had to leap out of the way.
"We stressed that the requirements of ensuring a safe and orderly event are paramount. This was acknowledged by the FIA team. We walked through the relevant procedures and protocol with the FIA representatives in detail and required them to take immediate steps to reconsider these procedures and protocols with the relevant stakeholders to ensure that this situation does not occur again."
