A lot of people have been allowed access to the paddock area of the Formula 1 Mexican Grand Prix and this has generated a lot of discontent among the drivers and the teams.
The Alpha Tauri pilot, Pierre Gasly, denounced in an interview with ESPN UK that he was almost the victim of a robbery at the Hermanos Rodríguez Autodrome.
It turns out that Gasly had his backpack opened while he was preparing for the race in Mexico City.
“I think letting in people is fine, but it is true that there are some guests who sometimes do not respect the space we need“, assured the French pilot.
“Yesterday morning I arrived at the hospitality with the backpack in the one with the open passport, and I didn’t even notice it,” he said, implying that none of his belongings were taken from him.
Given this situation, Gasly considered that the organization should be improved and the safety of the event so that the pilots and the teams have their space.
“We talked about it at the drivers’ meeting. I think it’s great that there are fans, and also to see children and people enjoying themselves, but maybe we have to find a way to make them understand where the limits are, and when they should give us a little more space, “he said.
