"It's just not easy for anyone, honestly. the thing is, you see this in every sport. And I certainly support big fanbases and having great fans, I think it's great, and it's normal that you support people and don't support people. you get that in every sport.

But there's obviously a certain level of how far you take that, and especially on social media. people are happy to hide behind keyboards and type things. but i think abuse always takes things too far. death threats is certainly one thing that takes things way too far.

But we want passionate fans. we want people who love our sport, who want to cheer for drivers. and you don't need to cheer for everyone, i certainly don't think I'm going to get all the fans. But there's just a level of respect and humility i think people should have. yeah, we all make mistakes. one of those was me making a mistake last weekend. but there's a level of things. and as a community, we need to understand how we can make it better, not just in Formula One and on social media, but in every sport, because sadly it's a thing that happens around the world everywhere."
