Alpine has issued a statement calling out online abuse after Jack Doohan and his family were targeted online.
Alpine condemned the online abuse targeted at Jack Doohan and his family, prompted by a doctored social media post attributed to Mick Doohan’s Instagram account during the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix weekend. The altered post, falsely depicting a crash involving Franco Colapinto’s Alpine, sparked an offensive backlash against the Doohans. Despite an apology from the fake social media account responsible, Alpine denounced the abuse directed at the family. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem also denounced fan abuse, particularly racial, towards Yuki Tsunoda following an incident during FP1 at Imola. Both Tsunoda and Colapinto called for calm and respect amid the escalating online attacks. The full statement from Alpine addressing the situation is available for review.
