We aren't rational enough to deal with it



British GP: Lewis Hamilton would 'welcome' protesters but not on F1 track, Silverstone issue 'danger' warning

Twelve months ago, environmental activists walked onto the race track during the opening lap at Silverstone. The Grand Prix was simultaneously red flagged as Zhou Guanyu had a big crash at Turn One.

This year, Just Stop Oil have made protests at high-profile sporting events including the second men's Ashes Test at Lord's, the Premiership rugby final and the World Snooker Championship.

Nobody wants to see another Emily Davison tragedy, but confidence in the common sense of activists doesn't rule it out. Apart from anything else, we aren't rational enough to deal with the aftermath.

    They should try to disrupt football matches. Start with Millwall.

    Sam - good idea and very good starting point. Somehow I don't think football is one of the sports on their list, but we can hope.

    dearieme - think of the mess and the screeching.
