Formula 1 driver Isack Hadjar has been called before the Mexico Grand Prix stewards to answer for an alleged case of paddock misconduct. An angry Hadjar was observed pushing a supporter twice after the individual approached him for an unwanted selfie following a difficult first practice session. The official stewards statement noted an alleged breach of Article 12.2.1.l of the FIA International Sporting Code concerning misconduct during the event.
Hadjar struggled with power unit issues during the session, which limited his time on the track to just 21 laps. His lap total ranked among the lowest, sitting ahead of only Jak Crawford for Aston Martin and Audi driver Freddie Slater.
Rules under the FIA International Sporting Code state that any actions, words, or writings causing moral injury to the organization or harming the interests and values of motorsport can result in a fine reaching up to €5000.
Social media users expressed mixed views on the situation. One supporter posted that a stranger should not have invaded his personal space for an unwanted photograph, adding that security and fans need to improve. Another individual disagreed, stating that the driver could have simply walked away instead of reacting aggressively.
