The Canadian Grand Prix was an entertaining race but was marred at the end by a security breach which saw fans enter the circuit before all cars had safely returned to the pit lane
The FIA has threatened "significant" consequences for the Canadian Grand Prix promoter if it fails to prevent repeats of the track invasion which followed Sunday's Montreal race in the future.
And that did not happen at the end of the the Canada race this time. A security breach saw a number of fans make their way onto the track while there were still cars on their cool down laps, which left the FIA very unimpressed. In an official document, the stewards said the promoter had "candidly admitted that the safety measures in place did not achieve the goal to prevent spectators from entering the track", and "concurred with the FIA Sporting Delegate and the race director report and agreed that this was an unacceptable situation".
Octane Racing Group is required to present "a formal remediation plan to the FIA that adequately addresses the serious concerns above", and must do so by September 30 at the latest. The stewards also asked the FIA to review the matter and decide whether additional steps need to be taken.
