Living well together was forgotten by some spectators present at the Austrian Grand Prix. There Formula 1 published this Sunday July 10 a press release targeting inappropriate actions within the confines of the Red Bull Ring since Friday's free practice.

“We have been made aware of reports that some fans have been subjected to completely unacceptable comments. We have raised this issue with the promoter and security and will speak to those who have reported these incidents. We take this very seriously. This kind of behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated and all fans should be treated with respect. »
For several days, testimonies have been pouring in on social networks and mostly concern women who have been harassed, some for their gender, others for their support for Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) in a Grand Prix where more than 50 people from the Netherlands came to support Max Verstappen (Red Bull). Friday evening, during qualifying, the Englishman's exit from the track was also greeted with applause from the Dutch public.
Who is in charge of security at the Red Bull Ring?
Hey @F1 @fia @Ben_Sulayem @fiawim @Silbellot @Red Bull @redbullracing, below are a bunch of tweets about people, particularly women, being harassed at the #AustrianGP Ce week-end. What can they do to protect themselves? https://t.co/GJiZDT5dgV
