 | | Alpine Head: signed Kolapinto not in order to put pressure on a duel29.01.2025 |
Alpine commented on the situation with the lineup of the pilots. The head of the Oliver OUKS denied the information that Franco Kolapinto, who joined the Alpine as a backup pilot, will accurately replace Jack Duen during the season-2025.
All this is a little cruel to Jack - I`m talking about the fact that different keyboard warriors were written about him.
We signed Kolapinto in order to put pressure on the duel. We just gave the team a greater choice in the future.
In my opinion, in Formula 1, the details solve everything. There are many people in the team-and they all rely on the racer who should give the result at every racing weekend. And we must be sure that the best riders are sitting at the wheel of our car - not only now, but also in the future.
As for Franco, he made a very good impression in Williams. Although it was also evident that at the end of the season he sometimes overdone and tried too hard. And here it is difficult to say to what extent this situation (with several accidents) was influenced by the state of his car and lack of details, and in what a sense of uncertainty, the lack of space in the F-1 for the next season and, as a result, a strong desire to impress everyone. But it seems to me that in general he made a very strong impression, primarily his speed, ”said Oux.
Flavio Briator allowed the replacement of a duel with Kolapinto during the season: in F-1 there is no place for emotions
