Lando Norris believes that fans dishing out abuse do deserve a ban, but not necessarily one that is valid for a lifetime.
Along with Formula 1’s growth in popularity has seemingly come an increase in incidents of hostile fan behaviour, a topic which the drivers discussed at the Austrian Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen had been booed by members of the crowd at Silverstone on multiple occasions, while in Austria, a section of spectators cheered when Lewis Hamilton suffered a heavy crash during qualifying.
The situation later grew more concerning after reports of vile behaviour from some spectators began to emerge, causing Formula 1 to release a statement.
