The Austrian Grand Prix was a controversy-filled weekend both on and off the track, leading Mercedes boss Toto Wolff to tell some fans to "f*** off" and stay away from the sport altogether.
That came after reports of sexist, racist and homophobic behaviour in Spielberg, which regularly hosts one of the more raucous atmospheres on the Formula 1 calendar. One spectator described the "disappointing" scenes at the Red Bull Ring, where they allegedly witnessed 'racist and homophobic slurs.'
Another female fan said they had only been at the Austrian venue for 90 minutes before receiving misogynistic abuse, followed by "inappropriate touching and many more misogynistic comments." F1 and the FIA both condemned any form of abuse, while Wolff was more colourful in his criticism of the perpetrators.
