There’s serious concerns that it could happen again 𒁃following similar protests at Wimbledon this week, while other sports such as Snooker and Cricket have also been affected this year.

Hamilton was asked about the poten꧑tial protest ahead of this weekend’s British GP in the FIA press ౠconference.

“We have not yet spoken to the FIA about what to do,” he said. “Naturally we are hoping that we l🎶earned from last year, and it won’t happen this year. I believe we have 100 more marshals to make sure it doesn’t happen. 

“We are focused on sustainability, we believe in what the people are fighting for and we are making those changes. But safety is key. I support peaceful protests.𒊎”
