The President of FIA, Mohamed Bin Sulaim, issued a statement after the likes of Yuki Tsunouda and Jack Duhan were targeted by the Internet and the Internet during the weekend.
Jack Douuhan asked online consulting “to stop harassing my family.” His appeal comes after he caught the attention of a social media, fabricating the attention of the media in Argentina, prompting some Alpine rider fans, Franco Kulapinto, to target the Australian contestant and his father.
Douuhan lost his place on the Formula 1 network in the weekend accumulation in the Emilia Romania race in the Grand Prix. After he failed to score a point, Flavio BRITR decided to rid him of a reserve role and give Clapinto an opportunity to show what he could do.
But he did not get the best in the beginning in IMola. Colabinto has controlled his car and crashed in the first quarter and also chose a penalty for a hot violation, before he finished sixteenth in the Sunday race. It was not long before the qualifiers, the social media post began to circulate online.
The image seemed to be the Instagram story of Father Duhan, the motorcycle race champion Mick Duhan, and a picture of Colabinto was distinguished and sarcasm: “very impressive.” The image is fake.

In his Instagram story, Doohan JNR talked about his influence now and his family. “As you can see, the story circulated above is completely wrong,” he wrote, along with a screen of the fake post.
“It was manufactured by the Argentine fans trying to photograph me and my family in a negative light. They edited the original content to make it look as if my father published it, which is completely incorrect. Please stop harassing my family. I didn't think it would reach this point.”
Then Douuhan posted a screen from the original publication on X and corrected, stressing: “The source is not Argentine. However, I reported the Argentine outlets Al -Zawah about the manufacturer that led to the abuse of my family online.”
