A Formula One marshal scheduled to work at this weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix has reportedly been fired after posting a tweet saying he ‘hoped’ to see Lewis Hamilton suffer a crash.
Putting up a post on Twitter as @Heem4U, the user replied to a picture of the seven-time world champion by writing he ‘hoped’ the Mercedes star suffered a similar accident to Romain Grosjean during his fireball crash at the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix.
The 35-year-old was lucky to escape with his life after emerging from a raging blaze with severe burns to his hands and a sprained ankle having crashed into a barrier at 140mph during a Formula One race in November 2020.
Writing in Arabic, the user wrote: ‘I hope he has an accident like Roman (sic) accident in Bahrain.’
The Sun now claim the man has been removed from his post after raising the issue with the FIA as well as the organisers of Sunday’s race.
The user then posted again soon after, this time apologising to Hamilton and revealing he was withdrawing from Sunday’s race on the Jeddah circuit.
