The charges relate to the incident after Sunday’s race had been halted following driver Zhou Guanyu’s crash, when a group of people made it on to the circuit and sat down on the track.
They were quickly dragged away by stewards.
All six will appear at Northampton Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday morning.
The force said a 43-year-old man also arrested in connection with the incident has been released under investigation pending further inquiries.
