Mogica Brothers Banned From Monza After Physical Brawl With Security

Stewards say a paddock-pass dispute escalated into a fight that security stopped with pepper spray and further discipline may follow.

Overview

  • The incident began at the Monza paddock entrance when a car-pass miscommunication and the drivers' refusal to stop led to a confrontation with track security.
  • Security used pepper spray during a physical altercation that involved Hugo and Thibaut Mogica, their guests, and service staff, according to the stewards' report.
  • Both drivers admitted inappropriate behaviour at an official hearing and the stewards described their conduct as a serious breach of safety and conduct standards.
  • Stewards immediately suspended the brothers from the remainder of the GT4 weekend, barred them from all restricted and reserved areas, and issued a provisional €5,000 fine that will be enforced if a similar offence occurs this season.
  • The case remains open to further sanctions and the episode has drawn attention because physical attacks on track personnel are rare and threaten safety, reputations, and possible team-level consequences.
