Environmental protesters jumped the fence and invaded the track during the first lap of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit on Sunday.
There was a red flag at the start of the protest, and law enforcement immediately removed the protesters from the venue before they could interfere with the race.
In a statement, FIA and F1 confirmed the incident occurred.
“We can confirm that 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,” they said.
