Hamilton planning 'something special' for Belgian GP fans

Lewis Hamilton is keeping Formula 1's fans close to his heart, especially those who attended last weekend's washed-out Belgian Grand Prix.

An account on Instagram named 'lhamiltoncrew' posted a message on the social media website, announcing that the Mercedes driver was preparing "something very special" for all those who braved the elements at Spa-Francorchamps.

The Instagram post directed Belgian Grand Prix ticket holders to a website where they could upload their proof of purchase, which would be followed by a personal email.

After last Sunday's debacle, Hamilton criticized how the FIA and F1 had handled events at Spa, calling the race a "farce" and urging the sport to refund the fans that waited in vain in the horrendous conditions for F1 to stage a motor race.

On Monday, Spa Grand Prix, the promoter of the Belgian Grand Prix, said that it would seek a compensation package for ticket holders, while Formula 1 confirmed that it was "working through options" for the botched event's attendees.
