After the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Jack Doohan made a plea on social media to stop the online harassment targeting his family.

In a series of Instagram stories, he urged for an end to the harassment, initially assuming it was from Colapinto’s supporters. Doohan later corrected himself about the source of the posts, highlighting the false reporting by Argentine outlets which fueled the online abuse.
