Northamptonshire Police said seven people were arrested after the invasion on the opening lap of the Silverstone contest, after five protestors stormed the Wellington Straight before sitting down.

The race had already been suspended following Zhou Guanyu’s high-speed crash, followed by a 53-minute delay before the restart in a high octane, action-packed day at Silvertsone. 

Hamilton, perhaps to many fans’ surprise, backed the protests on Twitter – understood to be from climate activist group Just Stop Oil – although he warned that storming the track on race day was far too dangerous.

The seven-time world champion said: ‘As we’ve seen today, this is a very dangerous sport. 

‘I wasn’t aware of the protests today, and while I’ll always support those standing up for what they believe in, it must be done safely.

‘Please don’t jump onto our race circuits to protest, we don’t want to put you in harm’s way.’

The quintet were swiftly dragged away by marshals to huge cheers from the watching crowd.

But in a race that saw ambulances and emergency crews called to the scene, there could very nearly have been further incidents after the protestors stormed the fastest part of the track.
