Just Stop Oil protesters guilty of risking "serious harm" to F1 drivers at British GP

A jury found six Just Stop Oil protesters were guilty of risking "serious harm" to Formula 1 drivers by running onto the Silverstone track at the 2022 British Grand Prix.

David Baldwin, 47, Emily Brocklebank, 24, Alasdair Gibson, 22, Louis McKechnie, 22, Bethany Mogie, 40 and Joshua Smith, 29, were all tried at Northampton Crown Court over the track invasion last summer. It happened on the first lap, after the race had already been red flagged following a huge crash at the first corner.

Five of the six defendants all went onto the track, while Baldwin was later found in the car park of the circuit with a Just Stop Oil banner as well as glue and cable ties. Prosecutors said he was "in it together" with the others.
