The pressure was on driver and team to perform quickly. For whatever reason, Jack Doohan fell short over six races with Alpine

Inside-information about Franco Colapinto crashing his Alpine during testing has been claimed. Alpine’s busy week began when they informed Jack Doohan shortly after the F1 Miami Grand Prix that he would be replaced. Reserve driver Colapinto has been called up to their race car for the next five races before another team evaluation.

Just two days after he was hired, Franco Colapinto’s future at Alpine is in doubt with the Formula 1 team in talks to sign a new driver. On Wednesday, it was announced that Alpine had axed rookie Jack Doohan after just six races of the 2025 season, with Colapinto to replace him.
