Climate Protesters Cause Chaos at Formula E Race in Berlin.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Jalopnik
Climate protesters from German group Last Generation delayed the start of the Berlin E-Prix Formula E race by swarming the grid, climbing fences, and gluing themselves to safety vehicles. The group's goal is to get maximum impact in the news by attacking things that people were already looking at and shift attention to climate consciousness. The race's title sponsor is a Saudi Aramco subsidiary, and the group's actions were not directly protesting Formula E, but rather using the televised spectacle to their advantage.
