Protestors jumped the fence and stormed the track at the British Grand Prix as part of a dramatic start to the race.
The Silverstone race was reported to face the threat of a dangerous on-track protest that would have placed lives at risk. Police's worst fears came true when the protestors took to the track during the first lap.
But by then the race had already been stopped, after a huge incident at the first corner involving several drivers. In a statement, the FIA said: "We also confirm that after the red flag, several people attempted to enter the track. These people were immediately removed and the matter is now being dealt with by the local authorities."
