Colapinto is Argentinian. Argentinian sports fans have a certain reputation for bad sportsmanship. Seriously, you can google it and will instantly get articles and info on it. There have been scandals even with sportsmen themselves being racist. With argentinian drivers currently having a resurgence in motorsports, it seems that soccer fans are starting to watch motorsports and bring their bad behaviour here. In Indycar, Agustin Canapino's "fans" have sent death threats to Theo Pourchaire – which Canapino denied in a weird public statement that led to him losing his seat. The year before his fans had attacked Calum Illot.
