The red flag generated by an accident at the start of the British GP caused a group to try to storm the Silverstone Circuit, but security forces acted to prevent access to the track
The bizarre crash at the start of the British GP was not the only cause for concern for the organizers of the race at Silverstone. According to initial information from the BBC Sports portal, soon after the red flag was activated and the race was stopped, some people tried to invade the premises of the English circuit.
However, despite the fans' attempt, the local authorities took action and prevented the fans' action. At the moment, investigations are ongoing to determine the reasons for the invasion, but reports are that the invaders have already been contained by English security forces.

British authorities were already on alert about possible protests that could happen during the British GP. According to the local police, there is evidence that protesters were already planning to invade the Silverstone track during this Sunday's race.
The red flag was activated just after the first corner turn, in a serious incident involving Pierre Gasly, George Russell, Alexander Albon, Esteban Ocon and Guanyu Zhou, who saw his car overturn and be thrown over the tire barrier due to the gravel.
Despite the very strong images, the Chinese man has already been removed from the Alfa Romeo car and is on his way to the hospital - as is Albon, who suffered a T-bump at the time of the accident.
