Formula One released a statement Sunday as reports of fan harassment and abuse at the Austrian Grand Prix surfaced on social media.
Over the last few days, fans shared accounts of racist, anti-LGBTQ+ and misogynistic abuse directed toward them.
“We have been made aware of reports that some fans have been subject to completely unacceptable comments by others at the event,” F1’s statement said. “We have raised this with the promoter and security and will be speaking to those who have reported these incidents and are taking this very seriously. This kind of behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated and all fans should be treated with respect.
