Decryption – Is Doohan already under threat from Colapinto at Alpine?

You have to have a mind of steel to not falter in such an environment. Jack Doohan had undoubtedly imagined a more positive atmosphere around him when he dreamed as a child of his official debut as a Formula 1 driver. After two years spent in reserve at Alpine biding his time, the Australian finally reached his goal of fingertips, preparing to become a full-time starter (after a stint during the 2024 Final in Abu Dhabi) alongside Pierre Gasly within the French team in 2025. Problem? The season has not started yet the pressure is already at its peak.
