He’ll be driving for Alpine within the first 6 races.

Great!! But wait, what is Alpine doing? How many test drivers do they need?

OH YES

that's a really odd move. why would he not have stayed at Williams unless there is a guaranteed seat at alpine next year. How much have alpine paid to release him from the Williams contract just to have him as a reserve

By what race will Franco Colapinto replace Jack Doohan?
— Kunal Shah (@kunalashah) January 9, 2025
My take: after DOO's home race debut in Australia
Alpine will go the Red Bull route...with a mid-season swap, that seems certain as an intention.
Go Franco!
