The 2025 Formula 1 season could well start with a thunderclap at Alpine. While the French team seemed to have locked in its pair of drivers with Pierre Gasly and rookie Jack Doohan, persistent rumors announce an imminent agreement with Franco Colapinto, a young Argentinian prodigy currently at Williams as revealed Diaro Ole. Revealed last year when replacing Logan Sargeant, Colapinto impressed with his maturity and his performances, scoring points on his debut in Baku and Austin. According to the media, Alpine would be ready to disrupt its plans to integrate this promising talent, despite the initial guarantees given to Doohan.
The pressure on Doohan
This situation reflects growing tension around the performance required in F1. Although Jack Doohan has a contract to start the season, the media suggests that everything could change and that an agreement is likely to be announced within the week with the Argentinian. Colapinto, coveted by several teams, has already started advanced discussions with Alpine. If the announcement is confirmed, it would be a major strategic decision for a team determined to maximize its chances of success in 2025, even if it means redistributing the cards even before the start of the season.
