article: A Formula One fan was arrested on Friday after he ran across the track during practice for the Chinese Grand Prix. The man is believed to have scaled the 10-foot grandstand fence before sprinting across the start-finish straight in between cars and then climbing the pit wall. It was reported that the fan then walked into the Ferrari garage expressing his desire to race a grand prix car. The man scaled the grandstand on the start-finish straight before running across the track during practice . After darting across the start-finish line during the second practice session he then made a bid for the pit wall . The man then climbs on to the pit wall and hauls himself over before heading to the Ferrari garage . The man was later said to have been waving his entry ticket and shouting: 'I want a car. I've got a ticket' Waving his entry ticket, it is believed the local man shouted: 'I want a car. I have got a ticket.' He was promptly handed over to the authorities and taken away from the circuit. Bystanders say he seemed a bit crazed, but not obviously drunk. The escapade will alarm Chinese officials, said to be embarrassed by the incident, with entry on to the circuit where cars reach speeds in excess of over 200mph, strictly prohibited. Motorsport's governing body, the FIA, is currently looking into the matter, alongside the promoters and circuit officials. Neil Horan, wearing a kilt and waving a religious banner, took on a gaggle of cars at the 2003 British GP . The incident, which took place during the second practice session at the Shanghai International Circuit, will have evoked memories of the 2003 British Grand Prix when a protester stormed the track. Drivers were forced to take evasive action as fanatic Neil Horan, wearing a kilt and waving a religious banner, took on a a gaggle of cars at the 200mph Hangar Straight. The safety car was deployed before Horan was tackled by a race marshall and arrested. Friday's incident also comes a year after the chequered flag at the Chinese Grand Prix was waved a lap early. 'I thought I was starting my last lap and I glanced up and saw something waving, and realised it was the chequered flag,' race-winner Lewis Hamilton said of the embarrassing gaffe by a circuit marshall. 'I lifted and lost about a second and a half but the team said "keep going". They told me the race stopped there. If the radio had failed and I had slowed down and Nico came past, that would have really sucked. Thank God, it didn’t.' Hamilton set the pace in both of Friday’s practice sessions as he bids to win his fourth race in Shanghai. Lewis Hamilton was fastest in both practice sessions for this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix . The Briton, mobbed by fans in the paddock, is bidding to win his fourth Chinese Grand Prix .
