Developer of the classification without the slightest point on the clock, the Alpine Pilot Jack Doohan could well be replaced by Franco Colapinto from the Grand Prix of Imola in two weeks.
The F1 season had not yet started that it was already under pressure. And it is not its results in 2025 that will reverse the trend. After six Grands Prix at the wheel of the Alpine, Jack Doohan has not scored the slightest point, abandoned in Australia and Miami, and obtained a 13th place in China as the best result. True-to-date in the ranking, while his teammate Pierre Gasly is 12th with seven points, the 22-year-old Australian missed his debut in F1, and his place is already threatened. Franco Colapinto, the third Alpine pilot, recruited this winter by the French team this winter after taking five points in nine great prices with Williams last year, and sponsored by a big Argentine online trade brand, could indeed take his bucket from the GP of Emilie-Romagnein two weeks in Imola. In any case, this is what reveals Autosport This Monday. Alpine occupies the penultimate place in the classification of the manufacturers, which was clearly not his ambition of the season, and would be ready to change the pilot after only six races to try to straighten the bar as quickly as possible, while an imola-monaco-barcelona triptych is announced until June 1. It would already be the second change of pilot of the 2025 season, after the Liam Lawson – Yuki Tsunoda exchange between Red Bull and Racing Bulls.
OAKES: “There are always speculation”
Sunday in Miami, rumors were already going well, the boss of the stable Oliver Oakes assured: ” We were quite open, as a team, at the idea that it was only noise. Jack must continue to do a good job. But it is natural that there is always speculations on this subject. Speculations reinforced by the fact that the CEO of the Argentinian energy giant YPF, Horacio Marin, had been surprised saying that Colapinto would be in the car “in Imola” after a television interview, but it had later specified that it was only a pile wish on his part. Do we not say that there is no smoke without fire?
