The promoters of Formula 1's Canadian Grand Prix have been summoned by the FIA race stewards over a track invasion before the end of Sunday's race.
Shortly after the Montreal race, the stewards summoned the Octane Racing Group, which organises the event, noting in their statement that there had been a 'spectator track invasion prior to the conclusion of the 2024 Canadian Grand Prix'. The issue concerns spectators being released prematurely onto the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on the cool-down lap - after the chequered flag had been waved but before all running cars had made it back to parc ferme. Motorsport.
An entertaining wet-to-dry race was won by Red Bull's Max Verstappen, defeating McLaren driver Lando Norris and Mercedes man George Russell, who had started the contest from pole. Early track invasions are not uncommon in F1, with the Australian Grand Prix promoters also pulled up over problems at the 2023 edition where FIA security protocols were breached.
