Alpine Replaces Jack Doohan with Franco Colapinto for Next Five Races

Posted : 08 May 2025

Renault-owned Alpine Formula One team announced on Wednesday that Franco Colapinto would replace Jack Doohan for the next five races, starting with the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. This change comes after the 22-year-old Australian failed to score any points in six races this season and just one at the end of 2024.

 

Alpine's executive advisor, Flavio Briatore, who is set to take over as team principal after Ollie Oakes’ resignation, explained that the decision was made to give Colapinto an opportunity to race alongside Pierre Gasly and reassess options after the five-race period.

 

Colapinto, a 21-year-old Argentine, was signed by Alpine as a reserve driver before the season. He previously raced for Williams, stepping in for American driver Logan Sargeant, and scored five points, with his best finish being eighth in Azerbaijan.

 

Colapinto expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, stating he was ready to get up to speed quickly and deliver strong results alongside Gasly.

 

Despite the setback, Doohan remained appreciative of the chance Alpine had given him. He acknowledged the difficulty of being replaced but emphasized his commitment to continuing his work as a driver. Doohan expressed his intent to remain focused on his personal goals while following the team’s progress over the next five races.
