The Mexico City promoters were alarmed by antisocial behaviour at sporting events around the world, fueled by the toxic polarisation of social media and society as a whole.
They launched an awareness-raising campaign called "Racepect", encouraging fans to leave the fighting to the 20 F1 drivers on the track rather than let it spill over into the grandstands or on online platforms.
The race's efforts follow in the wake of the FIA's own campaign to fight against online hate speech, with the organisers spurred into action after noticing souring interactions between fan bases of various drivers.
Tensions over the controversial 2021 title fight between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, which spilled out copiously over social media, have largely subsided but still linger online.
Since then Verstappen's fan base has also clashed with the passionate Mexican supporters of his current team-mate Sergio Perez, with several questionable comments by Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko adding fuel to the fire.
The vociferous response from some Mexican fans prompted Red Bull to take extra security measures in the Mexico paddock.
"We have been noticing this in the past years, not only in racing or Formula 1, but it's something that got our attention in other sports, in football, in baseball, in sports all over the world," said the race's managing director Federico Rodriguez.
