Pierre Gasly Hits Out at ‘Disturbing’ Abuse of Girlfriend From Franco Colapinto Fans
- Alpine Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly condemned "disturbing" online threats made against his family and girlfriend by supporters of teammate Franco Colapinto following the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid, where Gasly finished 12th.
- Tensions flared after Gasly held up the Argentine driver during the race, sparking hostility from Colapinto's fanbase—a recurring issue that previously saw supporters target Yuki Tsunoda after an incident at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
- Speaking Wednesday ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Gasly called the attacks "completely inappropriate" and said lines are "crossed too many times" by people behind keyboards, stressing athletes should not endure such threats.
- Colapinto condemned the abuse, urging fans to stop the attacks while emphasizing his strong working relationship with Gasly. "Unfortunately, that shouldn't be common," he said, noting people must take more care with their words.
- Alpine has struggled with online toxicity, previously releasing a statement after "sabotage" accusations and condemning abuse against Tsunoda last year, as the team and drivers continue advocating for a healthier environment.
