Fans leave Hungaroring: 'It’s a wonder no one was injured'
The Hungarian Grand Prix was a real spectacle. Some 290,000 fans walked into the gates of the circuit throughout the weekend, but when these fans wanted to leave the circuit on Sunday, things didn't quite work out.
Formula One fans in Hungary were treated to a real spectacle as they watched Max Verstappen take victory from the tenth spot on Sunday. When the fans wanted to leave the Hungaroring, things went wrong. Fans complained about the exits being too small and said that they were being oppressed when leaving the circuit.
Chaos at the Hungaroring
Journalist Jennie Gow received a report on Twitter that fans trying to leave the circuit are having a lot of trouble doing so. A Twitter user named Owen Lloyd reports that it is 'utter chaos' and people are being 'squashed'.
"It's a wonder no one was injured," Lloyd writes. Another Twitter user responds that this is not the first time that Formula 1 has not got its act together when it comes to exiting the circuit. During the race at Silverstone, this would also cause problems.
Are you guys all ok? Hearing some nasty reports from fans trying to leave the track... #F1
