There was also three individuals arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage to a Racing Point RP19, youtubers

Angry Ginge – real name Morgan Burtwistle – had been at the British Grand Prix with Chazza and Samham – also YouTubers – with a video circulating online appearing to show Chazza – real name Charlie Clark – trying to climb into the Racing Point cockpit, while an image appeared to show security escorting Angry Ginge away.

Always one scumbag who ruins it for everyone else. Hopefully his missus sees him on the six o’clock news tonight.

Bloody annoying or stronger words to the effect, i met the owner of this car 2 years ago at a car event and he is gracious enough to bring the car out and start the car for the crowd and it takes 1 complete moron who ruins it. I do hope they catch the fker and he gets the wheel back

[bergclimber34]

Hardly going to be difficult to find the guy, he is all over papers and social media

[paulw123]

If he can't be found with those pictures then it's pretty poor. 100's of people will know who he is.
He would do well to return the wheel asap, apologise and hope for a caution

What a tt!

There’s some good images there. Should be enough to find him hopefully.

That tattoo has got to be fairly distinctive - on his right leg. Can't quite make it out though... Anyone?

ETA : from a photo on twitter, which shows him actually with the steering wheel in hand it looks like he's got a tattoo on his left leg as well.

I'd be surprised if he hasn't been ID'd already.

Looks something like “I’m a waster and a tt”

Here's the image from X. Crap quality, but he does indeed have a tattoo on his left leg as mentioned.



Wonder why the police aren't sharing the whole CCTV recording instead of the one crappy still? It would make it way easier to identify the thieving git.
