Lewis Hamilton has backed the FIA's new get-tough stance over racism following the abuse he was subjected to in testing this season.
Hamilton was taunted by a small minority of fans during a test session at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya in February.
That prompted world motorsport's governing body to launch an immediate investigation, in conjunction with the Spanish motor sport authority, RFEA.
The FIA have since satisfied themselves there will be no repeat of any racist haviour at the circuit during this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix.
However, the FIA have opted to be pro-active in combating racism and have launched the EveryRace campaign.
An FIA statement read: "The FIA and the RFEA are committed to the principle of sport open to all.
"In order to further promote this fundamental principle, the FIA has launched the EveryRace campaign.
"With the support of the Formula One community, the launch of the campaign sends a message that discrimination and prejudice can have no place in sport or in society.
"The FIA would encourage motor sport fans throughout the world to visit www.everyrace.net and take the opportunity to pledge their support for the campaign's message that motor sport welcomes everyone, irrespective of gender, race or background."
Hamilton said: "I believe that motor sport, like all other sports, is about freedom of expression in the pursuit of competition and excellence. Nothing more, nothing less."
