Alpine replaced Jack Doohan with Franco Colapinto due to Colapinto’s strong performance potential and Doohan’s contract clause allowing for a change after a certain number of races. Other rookie drivers have expressed support for Doohan, highlighting the intense pressure and challenges faced by newcomers in the current F1 environment. Despite the belief that talent and speed will lead to success, there are various factors at play, such as team support, car performance, and experience levels. The case of Haas rookie Oliver Bearman emphasizes the difficulties rookies face, with higher grid positions generally offering more stability and room for error. The trend of quickly replacing rookies in F1 is seen as harsh by some, raising questions about the balance between driver development and immediate results in the sport.
