They might want to take a look at security measures at the China Grand Prix.

In preparation for this weekend’s race in Shanghai, a fan somehow managed make it on to the track, crossing the main straight of the Shanghai circuit seconds before a car went past.

Not content with putting himself in danger of being run down by a car traveling at over 200mph, the man then cleared the fence on the other side of the track and made it into the pit lane.

Reports suggest that the man pulled off the dangerous stunt because he fancied taking one of the Ferraris for a spin.

Unfortunately for him, this couldn’t be arranged and, when security eventually caught up with him, he was handed to the police.
