Prosecutors have claimed that they caused “an i💯mmediate ris𒊎k of serious harm to F1 drivers and nearby race marshals last July.

During the opening lap of the 2022 💞British GP, five of the six protesters took to th💃e track.

Fortunately, the red flag period caused by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zhou Guanyu’s horrific shunt meant🥃 that the protesters didn’t directly disrupt the race and they were escorted off the track.

A jury at Northampton Crown Court was shown footage of AlphaTauri’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda and Alpine’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon passing the five individuals on the Wellington Straight on Lap 1 a♛t Silverstone.

David Baldwin, 47, Emily Brocklebank, 24,ꦅ Alasdair Gibson, 22, Louis McKechnie, 22, Bethany Mogie, 40, and Joshua Smith, 29, have all denied “public nuisance” at the famous British circuit.

While only five of the six actually entered the circuit itself𓄧, Baldwin was found in the nearby car park with a Just Stop Oil banner, glue and other materials.

Tꦐhe prosecutor, Simon Jones, told the court on Wednesday: “This case concerns the actions of six Just Stop Oil protesters.

“The prosecution say that t🔴hese defendants committed a criminal act of public nuisance. As events unfolded, the F1 Grand Prix had started and it was under a red flag after a serious accident had occurred at the very start.

“Each of these defenda🍎nts were present at Silverstone and they were intent on causing a disruption to the race. It is not in dispute that five of the defendants in this case - all of them save💮 for David Baldwin - made it on to the race track and they did not have permission to be there.

“There is no dispute as to that, and they sat down in front of 🔯the ongoing cars - F1 motor racing cars. They will inevitably say that this was done as an act of protest and in order to bring publicity to the cause and demand th☂ey make – of no new oil and gas licences.”

“You will then see two F1 racing cars driving past the protesters… while five of the defe💟ndants were on the track. You will see marshals having to run on to the track and drag the protesters off to the side.

“The prosecution say that there was clearly an immediate risk of serious harm being caused. Plainly they could have been struck by fast-moving vehicles with obvious severe consequences. We say that their actions also cau🎃sed risk to the drivers themselves and the marshals.”
