It comes after fans attending the race in Spielberg reported being victims of a range of abuse. Hamilton said: “Disgusted and disappointed to hear that some fans are fencing racist, homophobic and generally abusive behavior at the circuit this weekend.
“Attending the Austrian Grand Prix or any GP should never be a source of anxiety and pain for fans and something must be done to ensure that races are safe spaces for all. Please if you see this happening, report it to circuit security and to F1 , we cannot sit back and allow this to continue.”
The issues include the verbal and physical harassment of many female motorsport fans attending the event. Some have reported being cat-called when walking past grandstands with one supporter even admitting the experience means they will not return next year.
