Yogvitam Pravin Dhokia, 27, could face six months in prison after walking onto the Marina Bay Street Circuit during Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix, reports Sky Sports.

Dhokia, a British national who was born in India, was charged in a Singapore court on Tuesday for committing a “rash act” that “endangered personal safety of the drivers.”

Dhokia’s passport was impounded and his bail was set at $15,000 Singapore dollars, to which he responded "15,000 dollars bail is too high for me. I'm not working currently. I spent all my savings on tickets. I don't really have that kind of money."

Dhokia’s next hearing will be on Oct. 6.
