Christian Horner wishes to eradicate racist behaviors in F1
On Instagram, the director of Red Bull Racing has published a message advocating for zero tolerance towards racist insults on social media.
Following the British Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was subjected to numerous racist messages on social media. On Twitter, Mercedes released a brief statement together with F1 and the FIA condemning this behavior.
A few hours later, it was Red Bull’s turn to publish a similar message on the blue bird social network, before Aston Martin and McLaren voiced their support for the German team and their driver.
On Instagram, the director of Red Bull Racing, Christian Horner, also posted a message where he advocates zero tolerance for racist insults on social networks.
« While the rivalry is intense on the track for the championship, highly charged emotions should never cross the line with racist remarks, he argues.
We have a zero tolerance approach to racist behavior within our team and I am personally convinced that those responsible for this type of abuse must be held accountable. We will continue to support the FIA and F1 in eradicating this from our sport, he concluded.
