Alpine recently released a team statement about the hostility and online abuse towards Formula 1 drivers. This comes shortly after Yuki Tsunoda, Franco Colapinto, Jack Doohan, and FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem spoke out against the abuse.
Both Doohan and Ben Sulayem posted messages earlier today regarding the unsavoury comments being posted and said to drivers.
Alpine, home of both Doohan (reserve driver) and Colapinto (full-time driver), has also spoken up about it.
The Team Statement reads "As an F1 team, we believe we are fortunate to be part of a global sport that evokes great passion and emotions, with an ever-growing community of fans who enthusiastically follow their favourite drivers' every move — whether it be a brave overtake on track or what style they are sporting when they arrive in the paddock."
"We encourage everyone to remember that behind the visor of these superhuman athletes, there is a person — an individual with feelings, family, friends, and loved ones. As a team, we cannot condone online abuse and urge all fans of this sport we love to be kind and respectful."
