The most anticipated dominoes of Formula 1 dropped its pieces and the movement was official: Franco Colapinto is back with Alpine. The Argentine will replace Jack Doohan from the Emilia-Romaña Grand Prix in the mythical layout of Imola in what is his second stage in the queen category after his correct premiere with Williams in the last 2024 appointments.
It was a movement that had been neighboring since before starting the course. Alpine trusted Doohan, but never gave him the necessary confidence. More with the presence of Flavio Briatore, who put all his hopes in Colapint. He had already done it with Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso, whom he made world champions … and legends. And Colapinto was his new ambition. After Doohan’s failure in the first quotes everything has rushed.
Because there is no other way to call Doohan’s beginning. It was too rugged and in everything is too guilty. Japan’s blow, when the DRS was left open in curve 1, was the beginning of the end of the son of the motorcycling legend. Miami, where they said that their six -run credit was over, put the brooch and not cause a kind of civil war in the French breast.
