Shanghai - A track invader sparked a security panic during Friday's free practice at the Chinese Grand Prix after climbing over the pit wall and demanding to test drive a Ferrari.
The fan scaled a fence and risked disaster by running across the tarmac in between the Sauber of Marcus Ericsson and Nico Hulkenberg's Force India before vaulting the pit wall and walking calmly towards the Ferrari garage.
Waving his ticket, he shouted "I've got a ticket, I want a car!" before being tackled by stewards and handed over to the police, a race official said, confirming that security would be beefed up after the incident in Shanghai.
