BWT Alpine Formula One Team has announced a strategic rotation of its driver line-up for the next five rounds of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship. Argentine driver Franco Colapinto will partner with Pierre Gasly starting at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, as part of a broader evaluation ahead of the British Grand Prix in July.

Colapinto, who has been serving as one of Alpine’s Test & Reserve Drivers, will race under the number #43 on the A525. This will be the first time he teams up with Gasly, as the duo aims to push Alpine forward during a challenging series of races in Europe. The upcoming calendar includes the Monaco Grand Prix, Spanish Grand Prix, and the Canadian and Austrian Grands Prix in June, forming an intense schedule that will test the team’s driver pairing.

Jack Doohan’s Continued Role as Reserve Driver

Despite Colapinto’s promotion to the race seat, Australian driver Jack Doohan remains an integral part of the Alpine team. Doohan, who has already made significant contributions in his role, will continue to serve as the first-choice Reserve Driver for the five-race period. Doohan’s professionalism and support to the team remain essential as Alpine evaluates its options for the future.

Colapinto Ready for Challenge

In a statement reflecting his excitement and gratitude, Colapinto expressed his appreciation for the opportunity to race competitively for Alpine. “Firstly, I want to thank the team for giving me the opportunity to drive competitively for the next five races. I will work hard with the team to prepare for the next race in Imola and the upcoming triple-header, which will no doubt be intense and a big challenge for everyone,” Colapinto said. “I have stayed sharp, and I am as ready as possible with the team’s race support testing programme, as well as on the simulator at Enstone. I will do my best to get up to speed quickly and give it my all to deliver the best possible results alongside Pierre.”

This move signals Alpine’s commitment to thorough driver evaluations ahead of the 2026 season, as the team continues to focus on long-term growth and performance improvements. The five-race rotation will give both Colapinto and Gasly the chance to demonstrate their abilities in the competitive Formula 1 environment.

Looking Ahead

The upcoming races will provide Alpine with valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of both drivers. With Colapinto now having his chance to race alongside Gasly, the team hopes to make the most of this evaluation period while maintaining focus on the season’s goals. As Colapinto prepares for the challenge ahead, the Formula 1 community will be keenly watching his performance and how it influences Alpine’s future decisions.
