F1 scandal: Colapinto fans start online attacks -FIA and Alpine Take Standing

Formula -1 fans cross the border: FIA and alpine are faced with online nuisance

In a shocking turn of events, FIA and Alpine developed to judge the recent increase in online insults that are directed against Franco Colapinto's competitors, especially Jack Doohan and Yuki Tsunoda, by some Argentine fans.

The counter reaction began after Jack Doohan lost his place in the Alpine race in Colapinto. Mick Doohan, Jack's father, expressed concerns about the decision and interpreted that Alpine had transformed into a “team paid driver”. This triggered a wave of online insults, which tightened by a fake account, which spent Jack Doohan, who mocked Colapinto's crash in Imola.

Jack Doohan went on social media to publicly demand an end to the harassment, and explained: “As you can see clearly, the circulating story is completely wrong.” He shared a screenshot of the fake contribution and advocated: “Please stop bothering my family.”

The situation continued to escalate when Yuki Tsunoda was shown the middle finger to Colapinto during the Imola practice after a block of the Argentine driver. Colapinto took responsibility for the incident and asked his fans to show respectful support.

The President of the FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, also expressed his support for Tsunoda and Colapinto and emphasized the need to combat online abuse in motorsport. He explained: “I fully support Yuki Tsunoda and Franco Colapinto and thank you for spending the growing problem of online abuse in motorsport.”

The Alpine team made an explanation in which the nuisance was convicted and asked the fans to be friendly and respectful to all people who are involved in the sport. The team emphasized the human aspect behind the Venia of these extraordinary athletes and emphasized that they too have feelings, families and relatives.

While the F1 community deals with this disturbing behavior of fans, it is of crucial importance for all supporters to remember the importance of sportiness and to respect both on the route and outside the route. The authorities take a permanent attitude against online nuisance and send a clear message that such behavior is not tolerated in the world of motorsports.
