Red Bull Fined €50,000 for Grid Violation in Austin
October 21, 2025
The Red Bull Racing team has been fined €50,000 for breaching the FIA International Sporting Code during the United States Grand Prix.
The incident occurred before the start of the race, when a team member entered the starting grid area through Gate 1 after the formation lap had already begun. According to the stewards, marshals attempted to stop the individual, but he failed to comply.
The FIA reiterated that access to the track after the grid has been cleared is strictly prohibited. As a result, Red Bull was found guilty of violating the regulations and handed a fine half of which must be paid immediately, with the remaining half suspended unless a similar offence occurs before the end of the 2025 season.
