Pressure for F1 rookie Doohan as Alpine sign Colapinto

Jack Doohan's future as a Formula One driver with Alpine looks in the balance even before the Australian's rookie 2024 season has even started following the French team's signing of much-touted Franco Colapinto as a reserve driver.

The Renault-owned outfit have announced the talented 21-year-old Argentine Colapinto, considered a star of the future even while enduring several crashes with Williams last year, has joined them on a multi-year deal.

It could spell ominous news for another 21-year-old Doohan, following much speculation about his future and with the likelihood now that should he fail to hit his performance targets early in the season, he will be replaced by Colapinto.
