Alpine Again Condemns Online Harassment from Franco Colapinto's Fans

“As a team, we feel it necessary to once again address the hatred and online abuse following the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. This abuse is directed not only at one of our drivers but also at other members of the Formula 1 community, including our rivals, whom we respect, admire, and enjoy competing against. Mistakes happen when racing at the limit, and regardless of the outcome, no one should be subjected to abusive comments. Condemning online violence is not aimed at a single fanbase or supporters of one team or driver; it is a universal issue that needs to be addressed and recognized by all fans of the sport. As we have stated before, we strongly condemn the reactions of some fans and stand in solidarity with Formula 1, the FIA, and the other teams in their efforts to eradicate it. In recent races, this has become a regular occurrence, and it cannot be condoned. As a proud participant and stakeholder in the sport, we know we have a responsibility to speak out on these matters and help find a solution. We will continue to work with the championship promoter and rights holder, and with the governing body, to find a way to combat online violence, encouraging the healthy sporting rivalries that Formula 1 is known for and that make it special,” Alpine wrote regarding the attacks on Norris and others.
