F1: Alpine director supported Jack Doohan

Oliver Oakes praised the work of the Australian in Baréin and that “is not fair” all the noise that is generated with respect to Franco Colapinto, reserves of the French team.

There are factual facts: Jack Doohan is the titular pilot of Alpine and Franco Colapinto, one of the three reservations (Paul Aron and Ryo Hirakawa complete the list). It is also true that Flavio Briatore, executive advisor of the French team, did everything possible to get the Argentine out of Williams’ ranks and add it to those of the Team that belongs to Renault. The Buenos Aires is the bet of Italian, there is no doubt. This was said to AM850.com Joan Villadelprat, who worked ten years next to BriTore. All of that aroused an endless wave of rumors, versions (some crazy, such as that they were going to upload it to Fraco in the preseason) that arose from the anonymity of the networks and many took it as true, Runrún, that Doohan is lowered in such a race, which has a contract for a certain amount of competences … All that came to the Australian, of course, and was asked during the press conference that was held in Londona while before the joint presentation of the 76th season at O2. To the third requisition, Alpine’s director of Communication intervened and put a preserve to the subject.

Arrived in Baréin, where the F1 disputes the only three days of preparation for the World Cup, Oliver Oakes, director of Alpine, was consulted about the situation that Doohan had to live since Colapinto was announced as a reserve. “I think journalists have questioned Jack quite hard about that, and it’s not fair. So I give him the credit to him because he kept his head down and continued with his winter and doing his job, “said English after the first test day in Sakhir. “I think this morning (for the first day of rehearsals) did a brilliant job for the team and we are happy to have it”added in statements published by Motorsport.

Oakes founded Hitech, a team in which Doohan ran in 2019 in Formula 3 Asian in 2019; They have been known for a long time. The data is not less. “Receive some criticisms and it is not fair,” he repeated. “In short, he is making his debut in F1. That is, he debuted in Abu Dhabi, but this is his first full year. And I think it has been a quiet winterso, for everyone, obviously, it is a hot topic. Franco is also a popular guy, so people want to see him in the car. For my part, I think it is very good to have Jack with us. It comes from our academy. He did a good job at Abu Dhabi and even this morning he was ready to act immediately at the beginning of the preseason. It deserves credit that is why he was able to ignore all that noise and concentrate on work, which is really good, “he added. And closed: “All this about Franco … Jack has his chance and I can’t wait to see him compete this season.”
