A Formula 1 marshal who wrote on Twitter that he ‘hoped’ Lewis Hamilton would become involved in a similar accident to the one which engulfed F1 driver Romain Grosjean in 2020 has been removed from his post ahead of Sunday’s Grand Prix in Saudi Arabia.
Writing on Twitter in a message which was translated to English from Arabic, the marshal said, “I hope he has an accident like Roman (sic) accident in Bahrain.“
The offending social media post was a reference to the gruesome fireball which engulfed the Haas car of Swiss-French driver Romain Grosjean which occurred after he hit a barrier at high speed, breaking the car in two and igniting the wreckage into flames.
