Ferrari find illegal immigrants in transporter ahead of British Grand Prix

According to the Italian branch of Motorsport, a number of illegal immigrants were found in the Ferrari Formula 1 transport lorry as it arrived at Silverstone.

It's believed the illegal immigrants boarded the Ferrari lorry during a stop at Calais as the team travelled to the circuit for the British Grand Prix.

They only noticed the extra passengers when the team started to unload the trailer. Calais has been struggling for some time to manage refugees trying to pass into Britain.

This event is not new to the world of Formula 1. A few years ago, Pirelli had a similar incident during transport.
