Jack Doohan’s rookie season in Formula 1 could be over after just six races. Alpine said Wednesday that Doohan would be replaced with Franco Colapinto after a disappointing start to the season. Doohan collided with Liam Lawson right after the start of the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday and was forced to retire from the race without completing a lap.

Ever since the team signed Colapinto as a reserve driver ahead of the 2025 season, there was growing speculation that the 2024 Williams super-sub would get a chance to drive for Alpine at some point.

Alpine has confirmed Franco Colapinto will replace Jack Doohan for the next five races, starting at Imola's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
