Members of the group Letzte Generation or “The Last Generation” invaded the Berlin Tempelhof circuit prior to the start of the second race of the Berlin double-header.
The start was delayed while security and police removed the protestors from the track, with the race starting after a five-minute delay.
“It's time to slow down. Because we're on the highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator,” read a tweet from the group.
