Update: Stewards issue Hadjar formal warning after Mexico City paddock incident

The stewards issued Hadjar a formal warning after finding that his action during a paddock incident before FP1 breached Article 12.2.1.l of the FIA International Sporting Code. The decision says he pushed a paddock guest aside with his open right hand.

Hadjar told the stewards he was running late for FP1 after stopping for a photograph with a young fan, and that the guest approached him aggressively. In mitigation, the stewards cited the congested route to FP1, insufficient security, the guest's intrusion into Hadjar's personal space and wider difficulties drivers face moving through the paddock.

This is a new report following our earlier article.

The decision records a breach finding and formal warning, while also setting out the circumstances the stewards considered in mitigation. This is a new decision on the same incident as the previously reported summons, so it should be linked as an Update rather than treated as a duplicate.
