Max Verstappen has called for a major change in regulations for F1 fans following the harrowing allegations of abuse which tainted the Austrian Grand Prix.
F1 is now conducting an investigation after receiving numerous complaints of sexual harassment and discriminatory, racist and homophobic behaviour at the Red Bull Ring. It followed fans cheering on Friday when Lewis Hamilton crashed into the barriers during qualifying, something the driver himself labelled "mind-blowing."
A released statement described the alleged behaviour as "unacceptable and will not be tolerated." They added: "We take these matters very seriously, have raised them with the promoter and event security, and will be speaking to those who reported them."
