George Russell has warned that a track invasion at the BritishGP could be 'extremely dangerous' for everyone involved, 12 months after protestors caused nuisance at Silverstone. F1
Five people jumped the barriers on the opening lap of the 2022 race but an early red flag for therollover at Turn 1 meant the field slowed by the time they arrived at the protestors from environmental activist group Just Stop Oil on the Wellington Straight.
driver Russell says that a possible track invasion would be “irresponsible and extremely dangerous” for drivers, motorsport marshals, event stewards and the protestors.“I feel that we’re all open and free to cast our views but doing it on a live Formula 1 track is pretty irresponsible and extremely dangerous for whoever the protestors are. But not only them - the drivers, the marshals who will potentially be running after people.
With these measures, Northamptonshire Police event commander detective superintendent Richard Tompkins says a “ring of steel” will be erected around the circuit permitter. Tompkins added that the police will help “facilitate” a peaceful protest and has called all race-going fans to help the event run uninterrupted.
