Isack Hadjar was handed a formal warning from the stewards at the Mexico City Grand Prix after a video circulated which appeared to show him pushing a fan in the paddock.

In the video, Hadjar is walking down the paddock when a fan approaches to ask for a selfie. He was was initially summoned to the stewards for an alleged incident of "misconduct."

The video appears to show the Red Bull driver decline at least once before the shove occurred. A security member of Red Bull's team then appears to step in to move the fan away. Hadjar was walking to the garage ahead of Friday practice.

"The driver stated that he was running late for FP1 and had stopped to have a photograph with a young fan, when he was approached by a paddock guest in an aggressive manner," the stewards wrote in an FIA statement.

"One security person was walking behind him and was unable to intervene and prevent what was tantamount to an invasion of the driver's private space.

"The driver initially resisted the move by placing his hand on the waist of the guest, holding him at bay, then the driver pushed him aside with his open right hand.

"This latter action by the driver is regarded as a breach of the regulations however in mitigation of penalty the stewards considered the following matters (in accordance with the guidelines provided in Appendix B of the FIA International Sporting Code):

"a) The driver was reacting to an uninvited and rather aggressive action by another person b) The driver was endeavouring to make his way to the start of FP1 through a congested area c) The driver did not have sufficient security present d) The guest was invading his personal space without his consent e) The general issue drivers have experienced moving through the paddock."

Mexico City has been one of the worst in recent years for paddock safety.

It is known as an event where drivers are surrounded by security personnel.
