Formula 1 stewards summoned Sao Paulo Grand Prix organisers to a hearing on Sunday after spectators invaded the track before the end of the race.

A representative had been requested to report to the stewards at Sao Paulo's Interlagos circuit in relation to the "incident", the governing FIA said.

The organisation did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Brazilian circuit is one of the most atmospheric on the calendar and track invasions after the race have become common.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen won on Sunday for the 17th time this season.

Gerd Ennser, Loic Bacquelaine and former F1 drivers Vitantonio Liuzzi and Luciano Burti were the stewards at the Sao Paulo race.

Formula 1 announced earlier in the week that it had extended the contract for Sao Paulo to host the Brazilian race until 2030, a five-year extension as the current contract had been due to expire in 2025.

"I can't wait for many more years of the wonderful atmosphere that the Brazilian fans bring," F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali said at the announcement. "This iconic circuit is a favourite of drivers and fans."
