Franco Colapinto’s manager has condemned the “abuse” aimed at Jack Doohan as rumours continue to swirl around his role in the Alpine F1 team.
The 21-year-old was signed by Alpine as a reserve driver for this season, after being released from his previous contract with Williams. Colapinto performed well in the last nine rounds of the previous season with Williams, earning five points. Speculation has been rife that he may replace Jack Doohan in the upcoming campaign, but Alpine’s Team Principal and Executive Advisor have remained silent on the matter. Fan frustration has been evident on social media, prompting Colapinto’s representatives to urge for respectful behavior. Former Haas boss Guenther Steiner believes the rumors surrounding Colapinto have been blown out of proportion and stresses the importance of handling pressure in F1. Jack Doohan is advised to stay focused, perform well, and let his racing skills speak for themselves.
