Fernando Alonso took aim at the "deplorable" online trolls who directed a barrage of hateful abuse at a Formula 1 steward following the United States Grand Prix.
The Spaniard finished seventh at the race in Austin, but several hours later was knocked out of the top 10 by a 30-second penalty. That came about because Haas complained about inconsistency when Alonso was not forced to pit to rectify damage to his car.
Ahead of this weekend's race in Mexico, the decision was changed again following a protest from Alpine and the 41-year-old's seventh-placed finish was reinstated. Amid all the confusion, some trolls online decided to target the race steward in charge of the decisions, Silvia Bellot.
