Responding to video on X (formerly known as Twitter) they wrote: &#8220;This person has already been removed from the circuit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One fan in a white shirt appeared to start fighting with two other supporters wearing red, as they appeared to be donning Ferrari colours in support of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> MUST READ <\/strong> <strong>Lewis Hamilton tears into Red Bull staff over Sergio Perez treatment[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/F1-fight-fan-Mexican-GP-5038964.jpg?r=1698618535624\"><\/p>\n<p>The fan wearing white appeared to punch another supporter in the head repeatedly before security rushed over and broke up the incident, before they were then promptly ejected from the stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Leclerc was involved in a collision with home hero Perez in the very first turn, which ended the Red Bull driver&#8217;s race and those in attendance at the Foro Sol stadium showed their disapproval by quickly exiting the venue, having come to cheer on their compatriot.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &#038; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Sergio Perez fans &#8216;to line up to stop Max Verstappen entering Mexican GP'[REACTION] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Max Verstappen demands change and hits out at \u2018disrespectful\u2019 Sergio Perez fans[LATEST] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Christian Horner names key difference between Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez[INTERVIEW] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/F1-Mexican-GP-fan-fight-5038970.jpg?r=1698618535759\"><\/p>\n<p>The Ferrari driver was even booed at the end of the race as he was conducting his interview having finished third, behind winner Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A lot of booing,&#8221; Leclerc said to a chorus of jeers in Mexico City. &#8220;Guys I had nowhere to go.
