Duen: I'll try to learn as much as I can from Gasly.

      Jack Duane together with the Alpine team is preparing for his debut season in Formula 1 in conditions of additional pressure: Flavio Briatore does not hide that in the course of the season, the Australian can replace the promising Franco Colapino, invited from Williams as a reserve driver. But the son of five-time world champion in motorcycle racing Mick Duane, it seems, is trying not to think about it. "Preparation for the season is going great, - quotes Jack RacingNews365. - The team has long accepted me with open arms, everyone treats me very warmly and caring. It is great that I work with Pierre Gasly, constantly learning from him, because my partner has experience of six or seven years of performances in Formula 1. I look forward to continuing this work, I will strive to create a great relationship with him to prove to the team that we are the most suitable for her duo of racers. Of course, I learn a little from him and the French language, but above all I help his experience, because I see how he builds his work in the days of race weekends. I'm not just talking about Abu Dhabi (where Duen made his F1 debut), but last season in general, so I'm going to try to learn as much as I can from him and hopefully in doing so we can help the team make the car as fast as possible." However, James Vowles, the Williams team principal and now former boss of Franco Colapinto, doesn't rule out that the Argentine could take Duen's place at Alpine as the season progresses. "Jack needs time to prove himself. So it's simple with that," Vowles stated. - I think every rider should be given that opportunity. But if it turns out - I emphasize, if - that he does not correspond to a certain level, then Franco will be ready to sit behind the wheel ... We have a great lineup of drivers in Williams, and so it will remain at least for the next two years, so in our team Colapinto will not have such opportunities. In most of the other teams in the championship - too, so in Alpine he has the highest chances.
