Who is in charge of security at the Red Bull Ring?
Hey @F1 @fia @Ben_Sulayem @fiawim @Silbellot @redbull @redbullracing, below are a bunch of tweets about people, particularly women, being harassed at the #AustrianGP this weekend. What can they do to protect themselves?

apparently this is not just a 2022 problem (thank you to Thijs for validating that these experiences are happening and are awful)

Glad @FemalesinMSport said something, but a legitimate question for the @F1 @fia @Ben_Sulayem @fiawim @Silbellot @redbull @redbullracing admins to look into: what can fans do when this is happening to them at a race?

Never seen so many complaints about one race! I’ll add more if/when I find more.
Also: I only have tagged RB & RBR b/c the race is at the Red Bull Ring and their admins might have helpful connections, not because I think this is all coming from any one fanbase in particular.

tagging some of motorsport journos in case this is something you might be interested in covering- never seen so many complaints about a race weekend before

If @F1/@fia need any ideas on how to combat this, multiple have mentioned that a lot of sporting events in the US that have numbers you can call or text for help + fan codes of conduct. cc: @Ben_Sulayem @Silbellot @fiawim

Really great to hear that the @fia and @f1 are aware of what’s happening, but statements will absolutely not be enough. We need to see actionable plans about how this kind of harassment will be prevented in the future.

alright maybe I’m being too vague: I need actions. what do these fans do when they’re being harassed? We’ve got several more hours of racing at the #austriangp

PLEASE TELL US WHAT PEOPLE CURRENTLY AT THE AUSTRIAN GP SHOULD DO IF THEY’RE BEING HARASSED

A DM from a Dutch woman, who asked me to share her story to make it known that we are not taking it any longer.
to clarify the second screenshot, she meant to say “They thought I wouldn’t** understand them…”

These replies to this tweet include negative experiences at this and other grand prix that are worth reading. Fans deserve so much better than this.
