During the race weekend of the Austrian Grand Prix, a number of fans posted on social networks about insults and sexual harassment in the grandstands of the Spielberg circuit. Formula 1 responded to the information received and promised to look into what is going on and take action.
“We have become aware of reports that some fans have received completely unacceptable comments from other participants in the event. We raised this issue during a meeting with the stage promoter and circuit security. We are taking this issue very seriously and will engage in discussion with those who reported the incidents.
Such behavior is unacceptable and unacceptable. All fans should be treated with respect.”
The behavior of the fans in Spielberg has already become a topic of conversation this weekend. Lewis Hamilton criticized spectators who were delighted with his departure in Friday’s qualifying.
“I’m glad I didn’t get injured and didn’t end up in hospital, but you can’t rejoice over other people’s failures, injuries or accidents,” Lewis said. – This behavior was unacceptable at Silverstone [в адрес Макса Ферстаппена]though no accident happened, nor should it happen here.
On the day of the race, 105,000 spectators are expected in the stands in Spielberg, of which more than 50,000 came from the Netherlands to encourage Max Verstappen.
