Jack Doohan is yet to embark on his rookie F1 season but is already facing intense pressure to perform amid heavy speculation recently-signed Franco Colapinto is being lined up for his Alpine race seat.
Alpine rookie Jack Doohan is facing significant pressure to perform as he enters his first full F1 season, despite having only one grand prix start under his belt. There are rumors suggesting that he may not make it to the start of the 2025 season, with newly-signed third driver Franco Colapinto waiting in the wings. Colapinto’s signing came after impressive performances for Williams last season, leading to speculations linking him to Team Enstone. Despite confirming Doohan’s spot for the upcoming season alongside Pierre Gasly, the stakes are high for the Australian driver, with rumors circulating that he has a limited number of races to prove himself. It remains uncertain whether Alpine will eventually replace Doohan with Colapinto, but the situation adds an extra layer of tension to the team’s dynamic.
