Shocking Hate Campaign Targets Tsunoda and Doohan: ‘Ultras’ Launch Vicious Online Attacks

In a shocking turn of events, rising Formula One drivers Yuki Tsunoda and Jack Doohan have become targets of vicious online abuse from so-called ‘ultras’ of Franco Colapinto, the Argentinean driver for Alpine.

Following a clash on the track between Tsunoda and Colapinto at Imola, social media trolls launched despicable personal attacks and insults at the young drivers and their families. The situation escalated to the point where Mick Doohan, Jack’s father, was falsely accused of mocking Colapinto’s qualifying incident in a social media post. This misinformation spread like wildfire, leading to a barrage of hateful messages towards the entire Doohan family.

The severity of the situation prompted Jack to intervene through his official channels, exposing and condemning the offensive and violent messages directed at him and his loved ones. The toxic behavior displayed online is a stark reminder of the darker side of fandom in the world of motorsport.

Notably, the President of the FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, took a stand against online abuse, offering unwavering support to Tsunoda, Colapinto, and their peers. Ben Sulayem emphasized the importance of combating the growing issue of online harassment in motorsport, urging for a more respectful and positive fan culture.

Furthermore, the Alpine team stepped forward with an official statement denouncing all forms of online abuse and urging fans to uphold respectful behavior at all times. The collective response from the racing community highlights the zero-tolerance stance against cyberbullying and sets a precedent for a safer and more inclusive environment in the sport.
