Alpine F1 Team Considers Shocking Driver Swap: Jack Doohan Out, Franco Colapinto In

Reports are swirling around the Formula 1 paddock, indicating that Alpine F1 Team is on the brink of a major shakeup, with rookie driver Jack Doohan facing a swift exit to make way for Franco Colapinto. The potential move could see an Argentine driver joining Pierre Gasly at the Alpine squad for the upcoming Imola Grand Prix.

The speculation intensified after a slip-up by a sponsor of Colapinto hinted at the Argentine’s imminent return to F1 in Italy. Although the comments were initially downplayed, they raised eyebrows and led to inquiries directed at Alpine’s Team Principal, Oliver Oakes.

While Oakes acknowledged the rumors, he emphasized the importance of Doohan’s performance, stating, “Jack needs to continue doing a good job. But it’s natural that there’s always speculation there.” The ongoing speculation stems from offseason gossip surrounding Doohan’s future at Alpine, coupled with Executive Advisor Flavio Briatore’s vocal admiration for Colapinto.

Colapinto, who was brought in from Williams to serve as Alpine’s reserve driver, is eyeing a potential F1 race seat in 2025 or 2026. His impressive nine-race stint alongside Alex Albon last year has positioned him as a strong contender for a full-time drive.

The decision to potentially replace Doohan is fueled by his lackluster performance this season, as he remains one of four drivers yet to score a point. Despite showcasing promising speed in qualifying sessions, Doohan’s race results have been marred by errors, including a series of incidents leading to early retirements.

Former race winner Johnny Herbert highlighted Doohan’s struggles in race situations, suggesting that his race pace might be his Achilles heel. Herbert emphasized the importance of converting qualifying performance into race success, indicating that Colapinto could step in if Doohan fails to deliver.

Alpine’s initial commitment to Doohan has now come under scrutiny, with recent reports hinting at an impending driver change. The team’s lineup, previously confirmed to include Doohan alongside Gasly, now hangs in the balance as speculations mount over Colapinto’s potential promotion.

As the F1 world awaits official confirmation from Alpine, the looming prospect of a Doohan-Colapinto swap has sent shockwaves through the paddock, setting the stage for a dramatic turn of events ahead of the next Grand Prix.

Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as Alpine F1 Team contemplates a game-changing driver reshuffle.
