Formula E protestors jump onto hot track, delay race.
The German group"Letzte Generation," which translates to Last Generation, took credit for the brief protest on Twitter and shared their own footage of the moment protestors stormed the grid. The video shows those who reach the grid doing so by scaling and then climbing down a catch fence while cars are still firing for their warm-up lap, then sitting directly on the grid before being forcefully removed.
Protestors jumping onto a hot track is nothing new. The most notable case came at last year's British Grand Prix, when members of a group called Just Stop Oil charged onto the track during a lap 1 that was eventually red flagged for an unrelated crash. Members of that group were, with three of the six receiving suspended prison sentences and the other three being given community service instead.
Outside of auto racing, the concept of a climate protest has spread like wildfire over the past two years. Notable examples include food being thrown at high-profile paintings, with the German Letzte Generation group being responsible for mashed potatoes and soup thrown at a Monet and a van Gogh, respectively.
