Hadjar Summoned for Alleged Paddock Misconduct at Mexican Grand Prix
Summary
Isack Hadjar has been called before the FIA stewards at the Mexican Grand Prix over an alleged paddock incident, with a social media video appearing to show him pushing someone seeking a selfie.
Isack Hadjar has been summoned by the FIA stewards at the Mexican Grand Prix for alleged misconduct in the Formula 1 paddock, with the Red Bull driver due to appear at 10:15am local time on Saturday.
Why it matters:
The summons places Hadjar under scrutiny at a time when driver conduct and fan interaction are closely watched. The FIA notice did not specify the incident, leaving the stewards to establish what happened and whether a breach occurred.
The details:
- The stewards called Hadjar over “misconduct relating to an incident in the Formula 1 paddock.”
- A video circulating on social media appears to show Hadjar pushing someone who tried to take a selfie with him. It is not clear whether that footage is linked to the summons.
- Under the International Sporting Code, words, deeds or writings causing moral injury or loss to the FIA, its bodies, members or executive officers—or more broadly harming motorsport’s interests and values—can carry a fine of up to €5,000.
- Other cases can draw fines of up to €20,000, while “very serious offences” may lead to more severe penalties. Aggravating or mitigating circumstances can affect the outcome.
What's next:
Hadjar’s hearing is set for Saturday morning, with the stewards expected to clarify the incident and decide whether any sanction is warranted. Until then, the specifics remain unresolved.
