Hungary's $1m fine
While the suspension of the full $1m fine will help the Hungarians, the race organizers are going to have to invest large amounts of money to erect fencing at the track to ensure that fans do not get out of control.
The FIA fine is the same as that imposed on the organizers of the San Marino GP after a similar track invasion in 1996 and underlines the fact that the governing body is worried about what could happen if people are killed during a track invasion.
