Fernando Alonso is the great veteran of the grill of the Formula 1. The Asturian, two-time world champion, is the driver with the most races in history and has the respect of both ‘older’ and ‘younger’… although the latter cannot avoid crack a joke
This is the case of Jack Doohan, one of the great promises that Alpine has, his team for the moment until Abu Dhabi and until he sets course to Aston Martin in 2023. The 19-year-old pilot got into the French car in Free Practice 1 in Mexico instead of Esteban Ocon.
In statements collected by the medium ‘Racing News 365’, the runner who currently competes in F2 released the phrase: “I think Alonso was already in F1 when I was born.”
“He’s an amazing guy. He is laid back and has always been there. I can always talk to him,” she says.
And he continues: “He is one of the first to say hello in the morning and always says goodbye when he leaves. It is really great to be able to work with a sports legend.
Doohan also spoke about his relationship with Ocon: “I think the last time he left his car for a Free Race was in Mexico 2007. Whoever was driving his car hit a wall at turn 13″.
“Don’t crash my car!” he told me. Every time I went out at Turn 13 and Turn 14 I had Ocon in my head telling me that,” she says.
