Singapore: An Indian-origin Briton, who walked across the track during the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix, was today sentenced to six weeks' jail for committing a "rash act" that endangered the lives of drivers, who were whizzing past at 280kmph.

Yogvitam Pravin Dhokia, 27, pleaded guilty to committing a rash act to endanger the personal safety of F1 drivers in the Marina Bay Street Circuit on September 20. District Judge Chay Yuen Fatt backdated his sentence to October 16.
