Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen have called on F1 fans to behave ahead of this year's Austrian Grand Prix following crowd trouble at last year's event.
There were numerous allegations of racism, homophobia and misogyny, which F1 branded "completely unacceptable" and led to them launching a 'Drive It Out' campaign in response. "We have been made aware of reports that some fans have been subject to completely unacceptable comments by others at the event," an F1 spokesperson said after last year's Austrian Grand Prix.
"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."
