Flavio Briatore sacked me - now I think he'll axe THIS F1 driver
Johnny Herbert's💟 verdict on Jack Doohan at Alpine🔥 following Franco Colapinto's arrival.

Former F1 driver Johnny Herbert believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Colapinto’s presence in the Alpine garage early in the 2025 season will only amplify the pressure and doubt surrounding 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan.
Doohan is immedia☂tely under pressure to keep his drive at Alpine following Colapinto’s arrival as a test and reserve driver.
The Australian has just one grand prix start to his name, making his debut at the s🐭eason-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
However, even before his debut, speculation was rife about Alpine’s interest in Colapinto🧸.
Flavio Bri𝔉atore, who is Alpine’s executive advisor, has spoken publicly about how h🌟ighly he rates Colapinto.
Herbert, who Briatore brutally sacked during his own F1 career alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher at Benetton, t🍷hinks Doohan is 💯on “borrowed time already”.
“I think Jack Doohan will believe he’s on borrowed time already, when I’m speaking to people, they✱ feel exactly the same thꦬing,” Herbert said.
“Doohan has got🗹 to deliver, and if he doesn’t deliver against Pierre Gasly, I know Flavio Briatore very well, Dꦗoohan will be out. He’ll be out as quick as he blinks. So pressure’s on his shoulders now for him to perform.”
Colapinto’s presence will cause doubts
Doohan 🌸will be bombarded by questions about his future from the very start of pre-season testing.
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.
Herbert see♕s this causing further doubt🃏s in Doohan’s head.
“That’s part of the spor✨t, 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.
“You have to get in the car and you have to perform. And Gasly is a dri🅠ver that is very comfortable in the team at the present time. There’s a🌺 lot of support for him in that team, obviously being a Frenchman. But now it’s up to Doohan.
“He’s got a massive amount of pressure on his shoulder൩s because Colapinto will be there in the back of the🎃 garage. He’ll be there on TV with him sort of over the shoulder of Briatore and wherever it may be. And that’s where all those little elements of doubt start to come into play. And doubt is something you definitely do not want.”
