lando speaks out on online abuse in sport, calling for passion without losing respect and humility 👏🏻
"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."
franco on social media abuse: "i think we talk the same every weekend and it's something [abuse] that has been there for a long time. of course there are times when it's worse than others. as drivers we have the responsibility to make it better."
"so yeah i think we keep working all together to try and improve it. it's tricky, i think it comes from every fan base or every driver... some are worse than others because they are more passionate than others. it's something tricky to control from our side."

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Premier League confirm an independent Commission has found Manchester City GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period, and the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the League’s investigation.
The club has the right to appeal the independent Commission’s findings and has until Friday 2 October to exercise that right.
The Premier League Board’s intention is that the full process (including any appeals and publication of relevant decisions) is concluded as soon as possible.
The independent Commission found that between Seasons 2009/10 and 2017/18:
- Manchester City arranged ‘sham’ contracts (which misrepresented the true agreement between the parties) with a number of its commercial partners, as well as relying on ‘sham’ agreements with others, to artificially inflate the club’s revenues and reduce its costs
- The club filed misstated accounts and concealed the true state of its finances from its auditors and football regulators
- Manchester City was significantly in breach of both the Premier League’s and UEFA’s spending limits
- During the Premier League’s investigation, Manchester City committed multiple breaches of its duties of co-operation and utmost good faith towards the League (three of the four alleged breaches were upheld)
