Posts on social media complained of sexist and racist slurs at the sold-out event at Spielberg's Red Bull Ring.

In a statement on Sunday, F1 said that it had been made aware of "reports that some fans have been subject to completely unacceptable comments by others at the event."

"We have raised this with the promoter and security and will be speaking to those who have reported these incidents and are taking this very seriously," the statement pointed out.

F1 affirmed that "This kind of behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated and all fans should be treated with respect."

Both Hamilton and Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff criticized that behavior, as well as the booing that Verstappen had received at Silverstone the previous weekend.

"It's not very sportsmanlike," Wolff had said on Saturday, pointing out that "Fans cheering when a driver crashes out, you should question the attitude and understanding of sport."

"Booing is not good either," mentioned Wolff, explaining that "As teams we fight, but booing is a personal attack on a driver. Fans should put themselves in the same position."
