A Just Stop Oil activist who invaded the track during last year’s Silverstone Grand Prix has told jurors he studied the Formula 1 rulebook and videos of previous races to make the protest as safe as possible.
Louis McKechnie, who is on trial alongside five other protesters accused of posing a risk of serious harm to F1 drivers and marshals, said the group planned to “bait out” a red flag and then enter a section of track with clear sightlines.
