Pressure Mounts on Jack Doohan at Alpine

Franco Colapinto's recent signing with Alpine has introduced significant pressure on Jack Doohan, who is facing uncertainty in his future with the team. After making his debut at the end of last season and finishing in 15th place, concerns about Doohan's performance relative to his teammate have emerged. Alpine executive Flavio Briatore hinted that Doohan's position could be temporary, especially with Colapinto available as a reserve driver, intensifying the cutthroat nature of competition in Formula 1.

Despite these pressures, Alpine has confirmed that Doohan will initiate the 2025 season alongside Pierre Gasly. Briatore emphasized that the team's decisions will hinge heavily on results, suggesting that mid-season adjustments could take place based on Doohan’s performance. Colapinto, seen as a promising young talent, will need to showcase his skills if he hopes to transition from a reserve role into the racing lineup. With a contract that may limit Doohan to a specific number of races, the stakes are high for him to deliver exceptional results and secure his place on the team moving forward.
