Alpine F1 Sensation Franco Colapinto’s Terrifying Crash at Monza Shakes Up Team Dynamics
In a heart-stopping turn of events, Franco Colapinto, the reserve driver for Alpine, narrowly escaped a major accident during a private test run at Monza. The Argentine racer, who stepped in as Williams’ driver last year, faced a daunting moment as he skidded off the track and onto the gravel, damaging the underside of the vehicle. Despite the close call, Colapinto emerged unscathed, but the incident has raised questions about his future with the team.
The test at Monza coincided with a rough patch for Jack Doohan, resulting in a dismal performance in Japan and subsequent races. Speculation is rife that Colapinto could replace Doohan in the lineup if the Australian driver fails to deliver results. With Alpine yet to score a point this season and Doohan struggling to make an impact on the track, all eyes are on the upcoming Bahrain GP to see if he can turn the tide and secure his spot on the team.
As the FIA announces inspections and summons two teams ahead of the Bahrain GP, the pressure is mounting for Alpine to make strategic decisions that could reshape their lineup and performance on the circuit. Stay tuned for more updates on the evolving dynamics within the Alpine F1 team as they navigate through a challenging season.
