At the British Grand Prix, "Just Stop Oil" protesters broke through the fence. 

On the first lap of the British Grand Prix, a handful of protesters broke through the track and were there when vehicles passed by. 

At the Wellington straight, which comes just after the first set of turns, the demonstrators were able to enter the track. 

By the time the vehicles arrived at that section of the track, red flags had already been displayed following a multi-car pileup at Turn 1. This was a major stroke of luck. 

On Sunday, a group calling themselves "Just Stop Oil" claimed responsibility. Seven demonstrators were detained. 

Lewis Hamilton appeared to provide support when informed about the protest during the news conference for the top three finishers, responding with the phrase "Big up to them." 

He continued by explaining: "I didn't know what the protestors were for, so I only just found out. I just said big up the protestors. I love that people are fighting for the planet. So we need more people like them."' 

Hamilton had been "endorsing their right to protest but not the method that they chose, which compromised their safety and that of others", Mercedes later stated. 

At least one of the demonstrators was on the course while cars passed, according to a witness in the nearby grandstand who spoke with ESPN. More than five people are thought to have been in the group. 

The situation was uncannily similar to the 2003 British Grand Prix, when David Coulthard nearly collided with a radical Irish priest who invaded the racetrack. 

Tom Thompson, chief inspector of the Northamptonshire Police, claimed that the demonstrators endangered lives. 

"I'm really disappointed that this group of people ignored our warnings prior to race day and made the incredibly dangerous decision to enter the track," he said. "We offered to facilitate a peaceful event at the circuit but they instead chose to put the lives of the drivers, marshals and volunteers at risk. It is incredibly disappointing that anyone would make the decision to do this. 

"Thankfully we had plans in place for an eventuality such as this and the group were swiftly removed and arrested by our officers. All seven are currently in custody where their details are being ascertained." 

In a brief statement, the FIA stated: "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." 

Ahead of the race, Northamptonshire Police said it had "credible" intelligence that environmental activists were planning a protest during the race.
