Hamilton Highlights Online Abuse Impacting New Formula 1 Drivers

News summary

Lewis Hamilton has raised concerns about the increasing online abuse faced by the new generation of Formula 1 drivers, a challenge that was largely absent during his own debut 18 years ago. Highlighting the rise of social media, Hamilton noted that today's rookies like Kimi Antonelli, Gabriel Bortoleto, and Jack Doohan contend with far more intense scrutiny and negativity, both from fans and the media. He praised the resilience and maturity of these young drivers, acknowledging the additional pressures they endure beyond just racing. Recent incidents, such as the abuse aimed at Jack Doohan and Yuki Tsunoda following on-track events, underscore the toxic environment emerging online. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has condemned such behavior while drivers like Franco Colapinto have called for civility among fans. Hamilton's advocacy against bullying and online negativity continues through his public statements and initiatives like Mission 44, aiming to combat inequality and promote diversity within the sport.
