A WOMAN from Yeadon is one of six people who have been charged over the track invasion at the beginning of the Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone this past weekend.
24-year-old Emily Brocklebank, David Baldwin, 46, of Stonesfield, Witney, Alasdair Gibson, 21, of no fixed abode, Louis McKechnie, 21, of London, Bethany Mogie, 40, of St Albans, Hertfordshire, and Joshua Smith, 28, of Manchester, have all been charged with conspiracy to cause public nuisance.
The charges relate to the incident after Sunday's race - which was won by Ferrari drover Spaniard Carlos Sainz - had been halted following Alfa Romeo driver Zhou Guanyu's crash when a group of people made it onto the circuit and sat down on the track.
All six will appear at Northampton Magistrates' Court today.
Northamptonshire Police said a 43-year-old man also arrested in connection with the incident has been released under investigation pending further inquiries.
