Isack Hadjar Faces Stewards After Incident with Fan at Mexican GP

Isack Hadjar, a driver for Red Bull Racing, is scheduled to meet with the stewards of the Mexico City Grand Prix after a video surfaced showing him pushing away a fan who was trying to take a selfie with him. The incident occurred during the race weekend, specifically between the two practice sessions on Friday.

The footage, which gained traction on social media, depicts the fan reaching out to Hadjar as he walked through the paddock. Hadjar initially pushed the fan back before delivering a more forceful shove as the fan persisted. Despite some criticism directed at Hadjar for his reaction, many fans have come to his defense, emphasizing the importance of personal space and the need for respect in such situations.

Hadjar's performance during the practice sessions was mixed; he faced power unit issues in the first session, finishing 11th, but improved to sixth place by the end of the second session. He is set to meet with the stewards at 10:15 AM local time on Saturday, with potential penalties including a fine or a warning for misconduct.
