There is a high chance of serious injury or death if protesters invade the track at this weekend's British Grand Prix, warns Silverstone's managing director.

    I don’t agree with the method of protest, but I’ll give them credit for having the massive balls to run in front of 200mph cars and doing it in front of 100,000 that want to kick your head in once the marshalls have dragged them off the track.

    Maybe the first lap should be done with touring cars… Just in case…

      As dangerous as Zhou’s crash was last year, it ironically prevented a far crazier situation with the protestors who were already out on the track at Lap 1. If the race had a clean start, the drivers would’ve 100% reached them. Who knows what would’ve happened in that situation.

      Use fire trucks, turn the hoses on the protestors. That way you’ll not only get rid of them but also make the race more interesting.

    Here we go again!?

    Maybe this time they should do a fake start / secret extra formation lap complete with 5 red lights. Could be pretty funny.
