SYDNEY (Reuters) -Formula One championship leader Oscar Piastri has expressed his sympathy for fellow Australian Jack Doohan, the rookie driver who looks set to be dropped by the Alpine team before next week's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
The resignation of Oliver Oakes and his replacement by Flavio Briatore as Alpine team principal on Tuesday has only further fuelled speculation that Argentina's Franco Colapinto will come into the team at Doohan's expense for Imola.
