    Doohan out, Colapinto in: instability impedes Alpine ambition

    Doohan out, Colapinto in: instability impedes Alpine ambition

    Alpine’s Ambitions Under Threat as Doohan is Dropped and Colapinto Takes His Place

    Alpine’s turbulent management landscape has taken another dramatic turn with the team announcing the replacement of rookie driver Jack Doohan by Franco Colapinto. This decision follows the abrupt resignation of team principal Oli Oakes, further complicating Alpine’s quest for stability and performance in the highly competitive world of Formula One.

    Doohan Out, Colapinto In: Instability Impedes Alpine Ambition

    The shockwaves from Alpine’s leadership shake-up continue to ripple through the paddock. Flavio Briatore’s re-emergence as a key figure within the team has reignited longstanding controversies, particularly as Doohan is sent back to the sidelines after just six races. The management’s swift decision underscores a relentless pursuit for immediate results amidst ongoing structural upheaval.


    Unpacking the Management Turmoil

    Briatore’s Controversial Return

    Briatore’s return to Alpine, a team he famously led to championship glory in 2005 and 2006, has not come without its critics. His history, marred by the Crashgate scandal, casts a shadow over his current role as executive advisor. With Oakes’ departure, Briatore is once again at the helm, directing the team’s fate as it prepares for crucial development over the next season.

    Driver Line-Up Overhaul

    The decision to replace Doohan, who failed to score any points, with Colapinto signals a change in strategy. Doohan’s best finish was a disappointing 13th place, while his replacement, Colapinto, brings not only fresh talent but also crucial sponsorship funding. The move has ignited questions about the fairness of evaluating a rookie’s performance over such a short span.

    The Challenge Ahead for Colapinto

    Expectations and Opportunities

    Colapinto’s arrival marks a crucial juncture for both the driver and Alpine. Entrusted with a seat for at least the next five races, he must quickly adapt to the high-stakes environment of F1 racing. Currently on loan from Williams, Colapinto finds himself under immense pressure to deliver results swiftly, especially given the backdrop of Alpine’s management instability.

    A Shift in Focus

    While Colapinto may provide the spark Alpine desperately needs, the fact remains that he is expected to perform within the shadow of an unsettled organization. As Briatore implemented a rotating driver policy, it raises concerns about whether Alpine can achieve the consistency required to challenge top teams in the upcoming seasons.

    The Bigger Picture for Alpine

    Historical Underperformance

    Since its rebranding to Alpine, the team has underperformed, finishing no higher than fourth in the Constructors’ Championship. This continued struggle, punctuated by management turnover and driver instability, raises pressing questions about the team’s long-term viability and competitiveness.

    Looking Forward

    As F1 gears up for a significant regulation change in 2026, the stakes have never been higher for Alpine. While the decision to switch to Mercedes engines could bolster performance, the team needs to establish stability now to seize future opportunities.

    In conclusion, Alpine’s recent upheavals, marked by the dropping of Jack Doohan and the introduction of Franco Colapinto, encapsulate a larger narrative of uncertainty. As Briatore regains control, all eyes will be on whether his controversial methods can finally lead Alpine out of the shadows of inconsistency and into the limelight of F1 success.
