Lewis Hamilton calls for ‘peaceful protests’ amid fears of second track invasion at British Grand Prix
The opening lap of the British Grand Prix saw a number of ‘Just Stop 🃏Oil🎃’ protestors take to the track in the first sector of the lap.
Coincidentally, the race had already been red-flagged due to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu’s scary shunt at Turn 1 following contact with168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell, so the protestors didn’t imp📖act the𒆙 action too severely.
There’s serious concerns that it could happen again following similar protest☂s at Wimbledon this week, while other sports such as Snooker and Cricket have also been affected this year.
Hamilton was asked about the potential protest ahead of this weekend’s Bജritish GP in the FIA press conference.
“We have not yet spoken to the FIA about what to do,” he said. “Naturally we are hoping that we learned from last year, and it won’t happen this year. I believ꧋e we have 100 more marshals to mak﷽e sure it doesn’t happen.
“We are focused on sustainability, we believe in what the people are fighting for and we are making those 📖changes. But safety is key. I support peaceful protests.”
Alex Albon conceded that th♔ere’s a “high chance” there will be anotherꦏ protest this weekend.
“There is a hi🐽gh chance of something happening. In🌺 the sport that we do, there is a concern. A pitch invasion is one thing, but with cars? It is dangerous. We have to be prepared for it.”
