Abuse and discrimination is not just a F1 problem, it's a problem with society. ✍️ jonwildemcr
A single example at a single race is still too many, whether that is a driver being cheered when they crash, racist or homophobic abuse or, as disconcerting reports from Austria indicated, sexual harassment or even assault.
Obviously it would be completely unthinkable for anything like that to happen in Formula 1, but equally why should going to a grand prix be anything other than a richly rewarding experience for any fan? One in which they can mix in a free, friendly way with everyone else, whatever their affiliation or persuasion.
An insistence upon enhanced security has to be one measure taken, along with a zero-tolerance approach to offenders. Lines of acceptability drawn up and if crossed, it’s immediate ejection from the circuit. It really is not difficult to determine where the boundaries should be.
