Franco Colapinto's fans accessed the Australian driver's personal email address, and then they threatened him with death.
The world, humanity, and society are in incredible depths nowadays, and this case exemplifies it perfectly. The writer of these lines was captivated and kept in the world of motorsports because he could take his first, "tentative" steps in an environment far removed from this kind of hostility. Ferrari fans, Mercedes, or even Red Bull, McLaren supporters could coexist peacefully in the stands. In the world of motorsports, there was a sense of family, camaraderie, silence, and peace. Nowadays, this is no longer the case, as just looking at the comment section under a relevant publication shows that almost all of them evoke the lowest forms of football hooliganism. Unfortunately. Doohan got a strong taste of this before the Miami Grand Prix, for which he was provided with a personal bodyguard for safety reasons.
The rookie, already in a difficult situation, was completely overwhelmed by the incident, and according to rumors, he had trouble sleeping. We are sure that Franco Colapinto also deeply condemns all of this, but the fact remains that it changes nothing; Jack Doohan is likely to say goodbye to his Formula 1 dreams for good...
