Formula 1 governing body the FIA issued a statement on Tuesday condemning online harassment, disrespect, and abusive social media comments directed at race stewards.
The abuse followed the stewards' decision at the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort to strictly apply the rulebook and penalize Alpine driver Franco Colapinto, alongside Racing Bulls driver Arvid Lindblad, with drive-through penalties.
While the FIA's official statement did not highlight specific incidents, it directly followed the widespread digital backlash stemming from the controversial on-track officiating decisions during the event.
