(Reuters) - Seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton said he was "disgusted and disappointed" by reported racist and homophobic behaviour from spectators attending the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring.

Formula One issued a statement ahead of Sunday's race saying it had been made aware that some fans had been subject to "completely unacceptable comments" by others in the crowd at Spielberg.
