Overview

• Alpine has confirmed Franco Colapinto will take Jack Doohan's race seat for the next five Formula 1 races, starting at Imola.
• Doohan, who failed to score points in the first six races of 2025 and faced multiple on-track incidents, has been demoted to reserve driver.
• The decision follows a management shake-up with Flavio Briatore assuming team leadership after Oliver Oakes's resignation earlier this week.
• Alpine will evaluate Colapinto's performance alongside Pierre Gasly before making a final decision on its driver lineup for the British Grand Prix in July.
• This move is part of Alpine's broader strategy to optimize its driver pairing and performance in preparation for the 2026 season.
