Former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner believes the rumours about 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan’s F1 future have been “exaggerated”.

Doohan heads into his first full F1 season with a major question marking hanging over him in the form of test and reserve driver168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Franco Colapinto threatening to take his Alpine seat.

Alpine’s decision to sign Colapinto from Williams after his starring cameo displays late last year haཧve resulted in intense speculation that he could be drafted in to replac꧑e Doohan if the 22-year-old Australian fails to perform.

Wading in on the rumours, Steiner does not think they shoul🐬d be 🅠taken as seriously as is being reported.

“I think the pressure🃏 comes from🎉 outside. A lot of these things which are happening in F1 is like someone said, ‘Oh, he has got only six races, and then it will be decided’. Somebody said it, somebody repeated it, and it got bigger and bigger,” Steiner told .

“I don’t even know if it’s true because nobody knows where it came from. So, for me, it’s an exaggerated ru🌱mour.

“I just don’t see where it came from. It wasn’t an official statement, so ✃if there’s no official statement, I always assume that somebody opened his mouth not knowing what he’s saying, just wanting a headline.

“Obviously, in F1, it’s not only him under pressure; everyon🐬e needs to perform. If he performs, he will be fine, there will be no problem.”

Asked what advice he would give Doohan, Steiner replied: “Jack needs to stay calm, do what he’s𒐪 good at, race cars, and then the performance will come, and he will be here to stay.

“I may have simplified💞 it a littꦓle bit, but that’s what it is about.”

Ex-F1 driver claims Doohan already in danger

According to ex-F1 driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ralf Schumacher, Doohan co💯uld be at risk after ⭕this weekend’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

Schumacher, the younger brother of🐠 legendary seven-time world champion Michael, has warned to expect ruthless decision-making from Alpine advisor Flavio Briatore.

"I know Flavio when the boy doesn't perform,” Sc🐲humacher is quoted by .

“And he probab🏅ly wasn't that strong at the test, what you hear, then it goes by pretty qui✃ckly.

"With Flavio, you know, it can be over aft෴er Australia.

"If he comes t🌸o Melbourne now and drives Pierre Gasly into the ground, then of course he can become a superstar, but it doesn't look like it at the moment."
