Silverstone GP faces major disruption as police fear ‘dangerous’ situation after tip off | F1 | Sport
Police have uncovered “credible intelligence” to suggest protests could invade SIlvertsoen during the British Grand Prix. Officers warned the protesters plan to “disrupt the event” and have urged individuals to not put themselves at risk.
Chief Inspector Tom Thompson said: “We have received credible intelligence that a group of protestors are planning to disrupt the event and possibly invade the track on race day. First of all, I want to appeal directly to this group of people and strongly urge you to not put yourselves, the drivers, as well as the many marshals, volunteers and members of the public, at risk.
“Going onto a live racetrack is extremely dangerous – if you go ahead with this reckless plan you are jeopardising lives.”
