‘Drive it out’, F1 campaign against abuse and discrimination

(ANSA) – ROME, JUL 30 – Formula 1 has launched a campaign to put an end to abuse online and during the events of the World Championship, called “Drive it out”. A video has been published on the Formula 1 Instagram page in which all the drivers, and the F1 presidents, Stefano Domenicali, and of the FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem launch a message against any kind of discrimination.

“Formula 1 is made up of competition and rivalry but also of respect. Any kind of abuse is unacceptable and if you are not respectful you are not part of our sport – reads the text of the message among other things -. We cannot allow those who offend the others, even on social networks, to get away with it, we have a duty to denounce it and say ‘enough’. We ask you to join us to fight this phenomenon. ‘Drive It Out’ “.

The initiative, in addition to the increasingly numerous discriminatory and offensive actions conducted via social media, aims above all to combat inappropriate behavior of the fans during the race weekends. Several episodes of abuse were reported, for example, on the occasion of the Austrian GP, ​​both against women and against representatives of minorities.
