Mercedes, F1 and its governing body the FIA issued a joint statement on Monday condemning the online racist abuse aimed at Lewis Hamilton. He was targeted following the Mercedes driver’s crash with rival Max Verstappen on the opening lap of Sunday’s British GP that sent the championship leader hurtling out of the race.


“F1, the FIA and the Mercedes F1 Team condemn this behavior in the strongest possible terms,” the statement said. “These people have no place in our sport and we urge that those responsible should be held accountable for their actions.”
