Daniel Ricciardo has slammed Formula 1 fans for taking delight in drivers being involved in potentially serious crashes.
Lewis Hamilton was roundly jeered by some fans at the Austrian Grand Prix when he crashed his Mercedes during qualifying. The Brit was uninjured, but those cheering could not have known that for sure as they took pleasure in his misfortune.
Reacting to those cheers, Hamilton said he could not believe what he was hearing. "A driver could have been in hospital. And you're going to cheer that?" he said. "I mean, it's just mind-blowing that people will do that, just knowing how dangerous our sport is."
