Organisers of Formula 1's Mexican Grand Prix have worked to reduce the number of fans in the paddock to avoid a repeat of 2022's security issues.
The number of fans and VIPs in the paddock in last year's race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez led to security issues, with spectators crowding hospitality units and accosting drivers. Alpine's Pierre Gasly noticed somebody had opened his backpack, while some of his peers had also flagged that the number of paddock dwellers had been out of control. Gasly raised the issue again at the Italian Grand Prix, where random people had been knocking on his door inside the Alpine hospitality.
'There are a lot of requests from teams and sponsors that are coming in and we have to find a way to keep those lists as small as possible, so that we can have a much more comfortable environment in the paddock.' The organisers have also put together a marketing campaign to call on spectators to show more respect to drivers and impress on them that the paddock is a working area first and foremost.
