The Deputy Prime Minister has spoken with Formula One boss Stefano Domenicali about possible disruption at the Silverstone race.
It comes after Just Stop Oil staged a demonstration at Lord’s cricket ground during last week’s Ashes Test match between England and Australia.
Security staff at Wimbledon are also on high alert this week for protesters trying to disrupt the famous tennis tournament.
Following their talks in Downing Street, Mr Dowden said Mr Domenicali was ‘right’ to warn that demonstrations on the Silverstone track could be ‘extremely dangerous and put lives at risk’.
‘It’s time for Just Stop Oil to just stop the selfish stunts,’ he added.
Speaking outside No10 yesterday, Mr Domenicali warned protesters against ‘dangerous’ actions and ‘destroying events’ attended by hundreds of thousands of fans.

‘I can speak for our drivers, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton – they wouldn’t want to have anybody being at risk; spectators, fans or themselves,’ he added.
‘That is not the place to take big risks. You’re not blocking anybody but you’re seriously putting people at harm.’
Last week’s action by Just Stop Oil at Lord’s saw protesters run onto the ground and throw orange paint powder before security staff intervened.
England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow was praised by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak after he grabbed one of the demonstrators and carried them back towards the boundary rope.
Government ministers are set to hold talks with other senior sporting leaders and police bosses today amid fears the campaign group could target further events this summer.
