Former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner believes the rumours about 168澳洲5最新开奖结果: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5最新开奖结果: Franco Colapinto threatening to take his Alpine seat.

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

Wading in on the rumours, Steiner does 🍎not think they should 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 k🦩nows where it came from. So, for me, it’s an exaggerated rumour.

“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 mo🅰uth not knowing what he’s saying, just wanting a headline.

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

Asked what advice he would g♏ive Doohan, Steiner replied: “Jack needs to stay calm, do what he’s good at, race cars, a🤪nd then the performance will come, and he will be here to stay.

“I may hav🔯e simplified it a little bit, but that’s what it is about.”

Ex-F1 driver claims Doohan already in danger

According to ex-F1 driver 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ralf Schumacher, Doohan could be at risk after th♍is weekend’s season-opening Australi🔯an Grand Prix.

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

"I know ✤Flavi🦄o when the boy doesn't perform,” Schumacher is quoted by .

“And he probably wasn't that strong at the test, what you hear, 🐻then it goes by pretty quickly.

"With 🍸Flavio, you know, i♔t can be over after Australia.

"If he comes to 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."
