Argentine Formula One rookie Franco Colapinto has urged his fans to be respectful after Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda received online abuse at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
Colapinto, who is making his season’s debut for Renault-owned Alpine at Imola after replacing dropped Australian Jack Doohan, accidentally blocked Tsunoda in the first Friday practice with the Japanese gesticulating back.<\/p>\n
After the practice, Tsunoda received a series of abusive comments – much of them in Spanish – on his Instagram feed.<\/p>\n
“I know they are extremely passionate, and they are always very harsh on people. They have to give respect, and that’s what we all want,” Colapinto told reporters.<\/p>\n
“There is a lot of hate on social media … so of course we always try and want, for all the drivers, to keep it respectful and keep it calm there.”<\/p>\n
Both Tsunoda and Colapinto crashed heavily in separate incidents during Saturday’s qualifying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
