Lewis Hamilton Cops Racist Trolling after Verstappen Touch-up

Lewis Hamilton Racially Abused After Verstappen Touchup

F1 Champion Lewis Hamilton is a GayCarBoys favourite, and was racially abused after a collision which landed Max Verstappen in hospital.

The collision saw Hamilton score a 10-second penalty, but he went on to take his 8^th British Grand Prix win.

The abuse occurred after the race finish. Online trolls took to social media, enraged by the Verstappen crash. The 36 year old was sent Monkey Emojis as he and his Mercedes team were targeted.

F1 stars are as one in condemning this appalling behaviour, and a joint statement by Formula 1, the FIA and the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team backed up the sentiments. “These people have no place in our sport and we urge that those responsible should be held accountable for their actions,” the statement read.

“Formula One, the FIA, the drivers and teams are working to build a more diverse and inclusive sport and such unacceptable instances of online abuse must be highlighted and eliminated.”

Australian Daniel Riccardo said the abuse was disgusting. Verstappen’s Red Bull Racing team said it was “disgusted and saddened” at the abuse directed towards Hamilton.

“While we may be fierce rivals on-track, we are all united against racism,” the team said in a statement. “We condemn racist abuse of any kind towards our team, our competitors and our fans.

“There is never any excuse for it, there is certainly no place for it in our sport and those responsible should be held accountable.”

Hamilton is the only black F1 driver, and this kind of abuse in any sport is completely unacceptable.

UK Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said the government’s Online Safety Bill, which was announced in the Queen’s Speech in May, “will make social media firms deal with abuse”.

But while the bill is still only a draft, he said “it’s time for platforms to turn the tide on racist abuse”.

“Social media companies can and must act now. We’re all sick to death of seeing the bile and the threats,” Dowden tweeted.

Social media sites have been urged by all, to take such posts down, with Facebook already removing offending statements.
