Verstappen had to bypass security to enter F1 circuit at Suzuka

During the Grand Prix weekend in Japan, Max Verstappen ran into a minor problem. The Red Bull Racing driver did not have an entry pass with him and was forced to bypass security in his very own way to enter the Suzuka Circuit.

Formula 1 drivers are not exempt from security checks and thus have to go through the entry gates every time they enter the circuit. Every now and then, though, stunts are pulled: on one occasion, the photo on Verstappen's entry pass was replaced by one showing him making a mad face, and prior to the Japanese GP, local hero Yuki Tsunoda jumped over the entry gate in spectacular fashion.

On one of the weekend days, Verstappen also had to find another way to get past security. The Dutchman did not have his pass with him and decided to squeeze past the entry gate. "No pass? No problem," Red Bull Racing wrote with the video posted by the F1 team on Instagram.
