The FIA has acknowledged that some protesters tried to obstruct the British Grand Prix. At the start of the race, activists tried to enter the track, but race marshals quickly dealt with them.
Even though the protesters got to the racetrack, they are still unable to stop it because Zhou Guanyu’s horrific crash ended the competition just as the lights went out.
We also confirmed that some persons managed to approach the circuit following the red flag. The FIA stated in a message.
The local authorities are currently handling the situation after these individuals were quickly evacuated.
A brief video taken from Esteban Ocon’s cockpit showed the Spaniard gently passing the demonstrators and dealing with them.
However, the protesters succeeded in alarming others, as seen by Sky Sports pundit Martin Brundle’s shock at what he witnessed. “Lucky escape, very idiotic to drive onto a racecourse,” he remarked.
Fans expressed their outrage and disapproval of the demonstrators’ actions on social media.
“What a surprise, stupid British protesters at the British Grand Prix. Throw money at them, they irritate me,” one spectator remarked.
Pne more said: “They’re stupid, those protesters. Whatever the source, you cannot just leap in front of F1 cars to fix your problems.”
