It’s worth remembering that back in 2019 - following a near miss with Sergio Perez in Monaco - the FIA promised to reinforce the message to marshals to not go on track without permission from race control. F1 JapaneseGP Autosport
Racing Point Formula 1 driver Perez was lucky to avoid hitting two marshals who ran across the track in front of him in the Monte Carlo race, as he exited the pitlane during a safety car period.
As well as making it clear that they must not venture on track without race control's permission, the governing body is to use video footage of the Perez incident to show the dangers of what can go wrong if instructions are not followed. Racing Point team manager Andy Stevenson said:"I can say that after talking to the FIA the marshals didn't have permission to be on the track, and the FIA in future are going to reiterate that they cannot go on track until they are given permission.Perez reiterated how fortunate he had been to not hit either of the marshals, and says that if one of them had not stopped in his tracks then the outcome could have been much worse.
