The F1 Unit💝ed States Grand Prix promoters have been hit with ✱a fine due to a track invasion by fans.

They have been hit in the pocket to the tune of $5🤪00,000 - although $350,000 is suspಌended.

Spectators got onto the track at the conclusion of Sunday's grand prix in Texas which was w♛on by Ferrari's Ch꧟arles Leclerc.

Fans were on the start-finish straight while some cars were still finishing their cooldown🤪 lap.

Approximately 200 fans reportedly climbed over a fence, dropped two metres, then hoppeꦇd a bar🀅rier.

Fan track 🐽invasions are a very serious breach of FIA safety regulations.

Fortunately no injuries were reported.

T꧑he track must also deliver a plan to the FIA for how future incidents of a similar nature can be prevented.

The Australian Grand Prix last year also featured a fan ꧃invasion which caused the or🦩ganisers to be fined.

Fans also spilled onto the track in Brazil last yea♛r.
