Just par for the course now in literally ANY sport. As soon as you have fans, you're going to have bad eggs ruining things for everyone else.

Sadly. He for sure didn’t do it on purpose.
He just overdrove the car frantically trying to stay ahead.
Rookie mistake but he’ll learn from it.
All together he’s driving a solid first season.

Death threats aren't par for the course. Abuse might be...but death threats are police actionable crimes.

I've heard far too many stories of fans sending death threats across almost every sport I watch. Even e-sport

One of those bad eggs was sat on the Red Bull pit wall. I don't think the radio call suggesting Kimi just let Lando past was professional or called for. It was obvious to anyone watching that Kimi made a mistake.

This was far worse though. Once again Red Bull proving the most toxic team on the grid.

Careful, I got a ban for less.

Anyway...
Mercedes taking it up with the FIA. The comments and accounts responsible for the comments have been passed on to the FIA.

Marko said: "it was twice where he more or less waved Lando by. It was so obvious, Antonelli now helps our main competitor, in Austria he was crashing [Verstappen] in the rear."

Funny thing of course is that Russel said that the day before he tried to give Lando a tow during qualy to win the world championship, during a heated debate in front of the cameras. So it is not completely out of the blue that Merc. could be trying to help Lando. That said, it was an obvious mistake by Kimi and he should not receive threats. But Max has had them, Lewis had them, Latifi, Masi. Just idiot people online who do that.
