Alpine F1 signing praised by pundits

Greenwood’s impressive reputation in the F𓄧1 paddock is widespread.

David🔥 Croft and Karun Chandhok discussed how Greenwood is a “tough character” and someone who “talks common sense”.

Croft said initially: “Who you might remember from your Manor/Marussia days or you might remember from his da🧔ys as Kimiꦡ Raikkonen’s race engineer at Ferrari.”

Chandhok replied: “He was also at the Enstone team before that. He’s a t🦄ough character, Dave, isn’t? He doesn’t suffer fools.”

Croft adde🍰d: “No he doesn’t. I have a lot of time for Dave though. Not only does he not suffer fools gladly, he talks a lot of common sense. He’s been there at the sharp end for many many years in Formula 1. Took a break out, went into the World Endurance Championship.

Chandhok concluded: “He went to work for Oliver Oakes on the Hitech F1 project - stillborn Hitech project and then carr🐲ied on as the t🅘echnical director across his junior formula teams.

“I think when Manor folded in F1 they went to the World End🔜urance Championship. Very, very experienced. Been around the pit lane a lot.”
