Alpine Condemns Abuse Again Following Colapinto's Azerbaijan GP Crash
Alpine said hateful online comments crossed a line after Norris drew abuse for demanding a ban and Colapinto accepted responsibility for the collision.
- On Saturday, McLaren driver Lando Norris called for a race ban on Alpine driver Franco Colapinto after the Argentine triggered a three-car pile-up at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku, forcing Norris to retire.
- Following his remarks, Norris faced a barrage of online abuse on social media channels, largely from supporters of Colapinto, escalating tensions after the collision.
- Alpine issued a statement on Sunday condemning the "hate and abuse online," stating such behavior is universal and pledging to work with the FIA to tackle it.
- Abuse has become a recurring issue; executive Flavio Briatore previously threatened an Argentinian media blackout after team-mate Pierre Gasly faced hateful comments in Madrid.
- The team committed to collaborating with championship promoters and the governing body to mitigate abuse and foster healthy rivalry, which they describe as essential to Formula One.
