Jack Doohan faces a nervy wait to see if he will return to the Formula 1 grid this season, following Alpine’s major announcement on Wednesday morning.
Following his Alpine demotion, Jack Doohan received additional setback as Formula 1 fans overwhelmingly support the French team’s decision. The announcement of his replacement by Franco Colapinto for the next five races, starting from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, came on Wednesday. A mid-season evaluation will determine whether Doohan or Colapinto will partner Pierre Gasly for the rest of the season. While the demotion represents a temporary setback for Doohan, who now serves as the team’s lead test and reserve driver, it poses a challenge in his F1 career. Unfortunately, the latest RacingNews365 poll shows that 47.11% of voters believe Colapinto deserves a shot, with 39.34% backing Doohan. For more details, check out the full poll results below!
