Alpine Formula 1 driver Franco Colapinto has taken a strong stance against some of his fans who have shared hateful messages against Red Bull driver Yuki Tsunoda after an on-track incident in Imola on Friday.

After a tense Imola GP, Yuki Tsunoda and Jack Doohan become targets of online hate. Franco Colapinto steps in, urging fans to respect all drivers.

Yuki Tsunoda will start from the pitlane in F1's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix after Red Bull built up a spare chassis following his Imola qualifying accident. Heading into the fast Villeneuve chicane at the end of the first sector, Tsunoda lost control over his RB21 and made heavy contact with the inside wall, sending his car into a barrel roll.
