Formula 1’s Shocking Driver Drama Unveiled: Scandals, Demotions, and Controversies Galore!

In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Formula 1 has been rocked by the demotion of Jack Doohan from Alpine just six races into the 2025 season. The decision has sparked a wave of reactions from drivers across the grid, with many expressing their support for Doohan while also questioning the handling of his replacement, Franco Colapinto.

Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar pointed fingers at the short contractual leash held by Flavio Briatore, suggesting that it was a ticking time bomb for Doohan. Meanwhile, Ollie Bearman criticized the alarming trend of swiftly replacing drivers without giving them a fair chance to prove themselves.

Seasoned drivers like Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon, who have faced similar fates in the past, advised Doohan to stay resilient amidst the chaos and focus on making a strong comeback. Gasly, who was demoted by Red Bull in 2019, emphasized the challenges Doohan is currently enduring, hinting at the severity of the situation.

Another driver with pertinent insights is Liam Lawson from Racing Bulls, who suffered a brutal demotion from Red Bull after just two races in 2025. Lawson, who managed to secure a spot in Red Bull’s B-team, empathized with Doohan’s plight, labeling the F1 industry as “cutthroat” and underscoring the immense pressure on rookie drivers.

Esteban Ocon, Doohan’s replacement at Alpine, shed light on the team’s decision-making process, drawing from his own tumultuous history with the organization. Despite Doohan’s unfortunate exit, Ocon acknowledged his talent and expressed hope for his return to the pinnacle of motorsport in the future.

As the dust settles on this shocking saga, one thing remains clear – Formula 1 is a ruthless battleground where talent is abundant, but opportunities are scarce. The echoes of Doohan’s departure serve as a stark reminder of the unforgiving nature of professional racing, leaving fans and drivers alike on the edge of their seats, wondering what drama will unfold next in the high-octane world of F1.
