Mercedes staff is armed in Brazil

A serious event took place in Brazil shortly before the official test of Formula 1, on the track of Interlagos.

The Mercedes team staff were robbed under gun threat, by an armed gang, causing panic.

An immediate reaction has also been to the world's champion, LewisHamilton, who on Twitter has called for immediate measures by the organizers of Forum.

Everybody's scared on our team. For good reason, once they were led to the head by real weapons, they are criminals who are not kidding. This happened at the beginning of Interlago's circus. Gunshots were also heard. These scenes occur in this country every year, disturbing those who seek professional activity even in extreme conditions. Forum 1 management must take urgent measures. For such episodes there are no excuses”, Hamilton wrote.

However, the good news is that there are no injuries. In 2010, as in São Paulo, Janson Button has also fallen prey to an armed attack that he still exists today. This wasn't the best closure you could get for the Formula 1 race.
