Singapore Grand Prix: British National Charged for Intruding Onto Track

A British man who gained access to the Marina Bay Circuit during the Singapore Grand Prix has been charged with committing a “rash act”.

He was charged under Section 336(a) of the Penal Code, Chapter 224.

A spokeswoman from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: “We can confirm the arrest of a British National in Singapore on 20th September and we stand ready to provide consular assistance”.

Bail has been set for Dhokia at $15,000, and the case has been adjourned to 6 October Dhokia is now in remand and his passport has been impounded.

“I m not working now “.

Dhokia told the court that the bail amount was too high, and he had “spent all (his) savings on tickets” while traveling alone.

At one point Ferarri’s Sebastian Vettel, who went on to win the race, could be heard radioing his team to say: “There’s a man on the track, there’s a man on the track”.

The footage showed that the man wiggled his way feet-first through a gap in the tall metal fencing at 9:16 p.m. local time, he then walked across the track before breaking into what seemed to be a panicked jog as cars approached.

Twenty-seven-year-old Yogvitam Pravin Dokia jumped the barrier underneath the Esplanade Bridge and cross the track.

Race organisers Singapore Grand Prix are expected to submit a full report of the incident to the Federation Internationale De L’Automobile (FIA), motorsport’s world governing body. Fresh charges may be brought against him.
