What happened
The governing body for Formula 1, the FIA, has condemned “harassment and disrespect” in abusive social media comments about race stewards following the Dutch Grand Prix. The FIA's statement Tuesday didn't highlight any specific incidents or comments, but it follows a social media backlash from fans of Alpine driver Franco Colapinto, who received two penalties from the stewards in Sunday's race.
