Alpine driver Jack Doohan of Australia steers his car during the Sprint race at the Formula One Miami Grand Prix auto race, May 3, 2025, in Miami Gardens, Fla.

ALPINE announced today that Franco Colapinto will replace Jack Doohan for the next five Formula One races.

Rookie Doohan’s future has been in doubt since Colapinto signed for Alpine from Williams in January as a reserve driver.

Colapinto, 21, will now be given his chance alongside Pierre Gasly until at least the end of the Austrian Grand Prix on June 29 with Doohan, 22, demoted to reserve driver.
