Protestors have planned to not only disrupt Formula One’s British Grand Prix on Sunday but could potentially invade the track, local police warned on Twitter.
Northamptonshire Police revealed what their intelligence uncovered “to deter potential protestors.” In a Twitter thread, they said, “We strongly urge you to not put yourselves, the drivers, as well as the many marshals, volunteers & members of the public, at risk. Going onto a live racetrack is extremely dangerous—if you go ahead with this reckless plan you’re jeopardising lives.”
Chief Inspector Tom Thompson reaffirmed in a statement that people do have a right to protest in the United Kingdom but to do so safely.
