A British man is charged with committing a "rash act" after wandering onto the track during the Singapore Grand Prix.

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

Yogvitam Pravin Dhokia, 27, was arrested after he was spotted walking on the track during the race, which was won by Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel.

According to Singaporean media, Mr Yogvitam, who eventually jumped back over a security barrier, was offered S$15,000 (£6,800) bail, but he declined as he had spent all of his money travelling to get to the race.

The track invader will return to court on October 6.
