An Instagram influencer had her paddock pass revoked at the British Grand Prix after becoming abusive towards a marshal, PlanetF1 reports.

The social media personality, who presents herself as a Formula One and MotoGP journalist and has around 4,000 followers, verbally abused Vince Markey, Motorsport UK's chief paddock marshal, and his wife in an incident on the F2 starter bus. The abuse was reportedly offensive enough that an F2 official apologised on her behalf. She offered no apology, and her access was revoked on the spot.

It is not an isolated case. At last year's British Grand Prix, streamer Angryginge was among three men arrested over damage to an F1 showcar. At the 2025 Australian Grand Prix, two content creators posed as security guards to access corporate facilities.

The FIA has taken a firm public stance against abuse under Mohammed Ben Sulayem, who founded the United Against Online Abuse campaign in 2023.

Should paddock passes go to micro-influencers while lifelong fans are priced out?
