Australian GP organizers in hot water as fans invaded track

Australian Grand Prix organisers were summoned to meet race stewards after spectators invaded the track before the conclusion of the race on Sunday, the governing FIA said in a statement.

A crowd of 131,124 packed into Albert Park to see Formula One champion Max Verstappen win a race plunged into late chaos by a slew of crashes and two late red flags.

The FIA said a representative of the Australian Grand Prix Corporation was to report to stewards at 8:15pm local time (1015 GMT).

With Haas protesting the result of the race in Melbourne on Sunday, it seems the FIA's stewards will be having a busy post race afternoon. (
