A Chinese spectator has been taken into custody by Chinese police after he ran across the circuit during free practice two on Friday.
The unknown man is reported to have scaled the catch fencing between the main grandstand and the circuit, before sprinting across the track behind one car and in front of another, before leaping across the pit wall.
He then made it to the Ferrari garage where he requested to drive a car, before finally being apprehended by circuit security. He was later handed over to police and arrested.
Security was immediately ramped up along the main straight in response to the incident.
