After Red Bull driver Max Verstappen crossed the line eight seconds ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris to win the 71-lap race, spectators made their way onto a circuit that was still classed as live.
Stakeholders set an agreed time at which the gates will be opened to allow fans onto the track, with many making their way to the main straight for the podium ceremony.
However, Autosport understands that many climbed over the fences and that circuit officials were not in control of the situation.
While the cars had left the circuit by the time spectators got through on and there are not thought to have been any injuries, the fact that people made their way onto the track prior to the gate opening time has raised concern.
As such, circuit officials have been summoned to report to the stewards.
A record-breaking, sold-out crowd of 267,000 people attended the Interlagos circuit over the weekend.
