F1 team call out fans in emotional statement after Emilia Romagna Grand Prix
The Alpine F1 team have urged their fans to “be kind and respectful” after Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda received abuse at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. During practice on Friday, the Japanese driver was accidentally blocked by Franco Colapinto, who was making his debut for his team after replacing Jack Doohan.
Tsunoda reacted angirly, gestering towards the Argentine. His actions saw him targeted by Alpine fans online, with FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem addressing the issue on Monday evening. In an Instagram statement, he said: “No one should be subjected to threats, hatred, or discrimination. There is no place for abuse or toxicity in our (F1) community.”
