Former Alpine driver Jack Doohan shares fake post targeting his father Mick Doohan, says 'Please stop harassing my family'
Jack Doohan
was replaced by
Franco Colapinto
at Alpine, with the latter racing for the team for the first time in Imola. Doohan, the son of former motorcycle champion
Mick Doohan
, was replaced after just six F1 races—a decision that didn't sit well with many industry insiders and fans alike.
Amid all this, a fake social media post was enough to trigger hatred directed toward Doohan and his father.
Jack Doohan has now stated the facts and asked haters to stop harassing his family.
Jack Doohan pens note for haters
Jack Doohan recently shared a screenshot of his father's original Instagram Story and its fabricated version. The fake post showed a picture of Franco Colapinto's horrific crash during the Qualifying race at the
Emilia Romagna Grand Prix
, with Mick Doohan's fake comment: 'Very impressive.'
Explaining the facts, Jack Doohan wrote along with the picture, 'As you can clearly see, the story circulating above is completely false. It was fabricated by Argentine fans attempting to portray me and my family in a negative light. They edited the original content to make it appear as though my father posted it, which is entirely untrue. Please stop harassing my family. I didn't think I would have to get to this point.

For now, I will keep my head down, keep working hard, watch with interest the next five races and keep chasing my own personal goals.'

Girls should compete more against boys: Tania Sachdev
Tania Sachdev (X) Chennai: The debate over abolishing the Woman Grandmaster (WGM) title has its pieces set on opposite squares. While legendary Judit Polgar has thrown her weight behind it, Indian star Tania Sachdev, a WGM herself, believes there's no need to take away the titles as they encourage many young girls. 'I don't think I'm particularly against women's titles, but I do feel young girls should play in as many open tournaments as possible. They should train with boys, compete against them and not focus just on women's tournaments. There is no need to take away women's titles because it does encourage young girls to take up the sport,' said International Master (IM) Tania, who is commentating at the Chennai Grand Masters event. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! While seeing the case for a change in the bigger picture, she mentioned it should be a 'slower transition'. 'I get it in the long run, there is something to be said for that, but I think it will take away an entire generation of chess players. So maybe you have to make that into a slower transition. I also feel that young girls playing only women's tournaments can kind of limit your potential.' Poll Should the Woman Grandmaster (WGM) title be abolished? Yes, it should be abolished No, it should remain Only if more girls compete in open tournaments Unsure / Need more information Tania feels the shift towards girls competing more in open events is already underway, a stark contrast from her own playing days. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If A Cat Bites Their Owner Heres What It Really Means Gloriousa Undo The 38-year-old from Delhi said: 'The more girls do it (competing in men's tournaments), the more comfortable it gets. This change in thought process is already happening compared to even five years ago. In my time, that was not even a question; there were barely any open tournaments. Now, the younger generation is of this mindset that they want to compete with the boys. It's slowly going in the right direction.' 'WOMEN AREN'T LAGGING BEHIND' Teenager Divya Deshmukh's recent FIDE Women's World Cup victory over her senior Koneru Humpy has given fresh impetus to women's chess in India. Tania said that victory made it clear women aren't lagging behind in this shining era of Indian chess. 'To see both Humpy and Divya taking part in the Candidates will be a big moment for Indian chess fans. Having two Indians from different generations in the final, it's just so inspirational. I think the girls are also proving that they're not going to be left behind in this golden generation,' said Tania. Regarding her own playing career, Tania said she still has some chess left in her but now relishes commentating more. 'I love commentary. I feel like I don't love playing as much as I used to, but I still love the game just as much,' said Tania. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
