In the 2004 Spanish Grand Prix, Jimmy ran through the starting grid during the parade lap, only to be apprehended by the race marshals shortly after. While he claimed to have many fans (due to his other performances at football matches), he was criticized for risking the lives of the drivers, even though the cars were still travelling at low speed at this point.
