Alpine release statement on online abuse...

But will fans continue to blame the team given Briatore’s controversial past?

I can understand why some fans have expressed frustration about Colapinto's performance and I think it's easy to blame Alpine for sabotage given Briatore's past, but really this is his first full season in F1 and I think they need to cut Alpine some slack.

Crashgate will always hang over Flavio Briatore, and rightly so, but the accusations that Alpine have faced about favouring Pierre Gasly are inane.
