A fierce defence of Alpine driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan was launched in Bahrain.

Sky Sports F1 commentator David Crofꦛt jumped to the defence of rookie Doohan who is remarkably already under pressꦬure to keep his seat.

Since being named as Alpine’s driver for 2025, the team signed the highly-rated Franco Colapinto as their reserve driver. Unconfirmed rౠumours suggest Colapinto and Doohan could swap roles within a few races.

Doohan answered the media’s question﷽s about h🃏is race seat defensively in Bahrain.

Sky Sports’ Craig Slater said: “There are six rookies but are an♋y under more pressure than him? He had to deal with questions about F🐼ranco Colapinto joining the team.

“I’ve been speaking to a ಞcouple of people who reckon he enjoyed t♔hat, he enjoyed getting punchy with the media.

“Maybe that lit his fire ahead of the season.”

Jack Doohan 'poor drive' rejected

Doohan drove for Alpine in the 2024 F1 season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prixꦍ.

He f⛦inished 15th and didn’t particularly catch the ey🃏e.

But ﷺCrofty 🥂insisted: “I’m going to stand up for Doohan.

“I thought he was unlucky in Abu Dhabi. In the first runs in qualifying he was a tenth off Pierre Gasly, and there’s no🌄 dis💛grace in that.

“He then got sent out into traff꧃ic, his tyres cooled, lost grip. He started lower than he was 💫going to.

“The instruction was to bring the car home and keep it s🍌afe.

“What looked like a poor dri🌄ve was🐎 just doing as the team asked.

“Flavio Briatore or Ollie Oဣakes need to come out and say ‘Doohan is our man for the year’.

“If they do that, the speculation stops.”

Team principal Oakes admitted the scrutiny🐷 on Doohan was “🐼not fair”.

But, Colapinto remains in the background as an optio🍌n for Alpine to swap into their team.

T♍he season begins at the Australian Grand Prix - Doohan’s home race - on March♑ 16.
