F1 launches 'Drive It Out' campaign to combat abuse

Formula 1 has come up with a new statement in the fight against 'fans' who misbehave during Grands Prix. The campaign is called #DriveItOut.

All the drivers, CEO Stefano Domenicali and FIA boss Mohamed Ben Sulayem appear in the video. The action has been set up after fans misbehaved in Austria. The fans allegedly made racist comments and booed other fans for their driver preference.

"We are united in our desire to drive abuse of all kinds out of the sport we love, and we're calling on the entire F1 family to join us," the FIA wrote on its own Twitter account. The video has been shared by the ten Formula One teams, journalists and the drivers themselves.
