Fan Will Sweet was cut after being hit by a piece of Haas driver Kevin Magnussen’s car during Formula 1’s Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
The incident happened on Sunday. Several fans were able to approach a short distance from the track. Sweet said he was hit in the hand by a piece of metal that fell from Magnussen’s car.
— Magnussen flies along the runway, then suddenly something hits my arm, people start to disperse. Something hit my arm and I lay there bleeding. My hand covered my neck, but the coin could have hit my bride in the head, — quotes the words of Sweet The Age. “When I picked up the coin I realized how big and heavy it was. Part of him was very sharp, if he had hit me from a different angle it could have ended badly.
Race organizers have announced an investigation into the incident. The race stewards have demanded that the International Automobile Federation (FIA) refer the incident to the World Motor Sport Council, which must decide whether any sanctions should be applied.
“All of this posed a serious danger to spectators, race officials and drivers,” the FIA said in a statement.
The next stage of the Formula 1 championship, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, will be held from April 28 to 30 in Baku.
