__FORCETOC__

Incident

During the warm-up lap of the race, a man calling himself Jimmy Jump ran through the starting grid, only to be apprehended soon by the security. While he claims to have many fans (due to his other performances at soccer matches), he was criticized by risking the lives of the drivers, even though the race was still going at low speed at this point.
