Lewis Hamilton revealed his disgust after hearing reports of horrific abuse being suffered by some race-goers at this weekend's Austrian Grand Prix.
Attending a race is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for some people, and in any case it should always be an enjoyable and memorable weekend. But not everyone at the Red Bull Ring will feel that way after reportedly facing sexism, racism and homophobia at the hands of some of their peers.
Many took to social media to give accounts of the abuse they had faced, with one female spectator revealing she was targeted less than 90 minutes after arriving at the venue. "I got a misogynistic comment," they wrote. "And afterwards it went downhill with inappropriate touching and many more misogynistic comments."
