Johnny Herbert's verdict on Jack Doohan at Alpine following Franco Colapinto's arrival.
Doohan is immediately under pressure to keep his drive at Alpine following Colapinto’s arrival as a test and reserve driver.
“I think Jack Doohan will believe he’s on borrowed time already, when I’m speaking to people, they feel exactly the same thing,” Herbert said. To make it worse for Doohan, the TV cameras will likely cut to Colapinto and Briatore in the Alpine garage whenever he has a bad qualifying result or makes a mistake.“That’s part of the sport, unfortunately, especially in Formula 1, it’s not always full of budding roses. It’s a massive amount of pressure for Doohan, but that’s what the deal is,” Herbert added.
