"Silverstone" can be fined

Autodrom in Silverstone can be fined for the incident that occurred last Sunday, when a man ran out on the highway during the 11th stage of the Formula 1 World Cup.

As stated in the official statement of the FIA , the organizers of the Grand Prix of Great Britain and the British Motorsport Association will have to report for violation of the safety rules before FIA. After that, the World Council for Motorsport will take up the incident, which will be punished to the organizers of the race. It is possible that the autodrome will be fined, although it is difficult to name the exact amount of the fine, RIA Novosti reports.

In 2000, a similar incident occurred at the Grand Prix of Germany in Hockeyhaim. Then the organizers of the stage escaped with a warning, avoiding a fine. Due to what happened in Silverstone last Sunday, FIA demanded that the organizers of the other Grand Prix guarantees of strict security measures. The director of the Hungarian stage , which will be held on August 24, Laszlo Palik promised that nothing like this would happen in Budapest. For this, additional fences with a total length of 5 kilometers have already been set at the autrod.

Recall that a man who ran out onto the highway risked being crushed cars that drive at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. He appeared on that part of the highway where cars develop the highest speed.

At this time, the 12th circle of the Grand Prix of Great Britain approached the end of the 12th circle. After the man was captured, he was sent to the police, and on Sunday evening he will be questioned. While the arrested 56-year-old man is accused of "violation of the admission." The whole danger of this action was that a person fled by the beginning of the turn, as a result of which the cars that traveled for this line had less space for the maneuver. And in this section of the car, the car can accelerate to 300 kilometers per hour. At one time, because of this, the English pilot Tom Pierce died at the Grand Prix of South Africa. In the same situation, he did not see the marshal of the race.
