''Doohan was recieving threats on social media by Colapinto's fans. So much so that he had a round-the-clock security in Miami. According to people close to Aussie, those threats weighed heavily on him. People had discovered his personal e-mail address and were sending e-mail threats which resulted in Jack, his girlfriend and even his father holding real concerns for their safety. And on top of that, Jack's sleep was affected.''

Too many batahit insane people out there. Poor guy was setup to fail by his team and harassed by the 'fans'. You can argue that doohan was not very talented but he was not given the proper opportunity to show what he has got.

Jesus, what absolute freaks. Do these people not have anything else to do?

Very messed up.

That's sad. Nobody benefits from having "fans" like that. Franco isn't like that and Doohan isn't a bad guy. Just senseless.

I like how people still call it "social" media.

The Argie fan behaviour was called by a few who had already seen how they behaved with Augustin Canapinos. Kinda text book for that small vile minority, but at the same time how much of it has any weight? Something the drivers should never have to deal with either way.
