Monday morning got off to a fiery start as Susanna Reid and her latest Good Morning Britain co-host Ed Balls were joined live in the studio by a Silverstone protester. Over the weekend, during the British Grand Prix, a number of people made their way onto the track.
Zhou Guanyu's Alfa Romeo slid upside down across the track before slamming into the tyre barrier, before it landed in the fencing in a major crash at the start of the Silverstone race. As the contest was immediately red flagged and cars headed for the pits, protesters broke onto the circuit at the Wellington Straight, before sitting down.
The protestors were dragged away by marshals as drivers sped by. It has since been confirmed by Northamptonshire Police that seven people have been arrested following the track invasion at the start of the British Grand Prix.
