Inside-information about 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Colapinto crashing his Alpine during ꦓtesting has been claimed.

Alpine’s busy week began when they informed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Doohan shortly after the ꦐF1 Miami Grand Prix that he would be replaced.

Reserve driver Colapinto has been called up to their ♕race car for the next five races before another team e𝔉valuation.

But Karun Chandhok has told the Sky Sports F1 podcast that Colapinto was picked despite crashing in testing for Alpine.

“That’s right. They tested at Qatar and Monza. I think he had a shunt, or an off, i🌠n those,” Chandhok said.

“Colapinto is a good driver but we only saw a small snapshꦕot. It’s hard to judge𒈔 in that small window.

“A lot of hype came out of So🎉uth America that he would be their next world champion.

“It would have been the wrong thing if he was promoted to the Red Bull seat. There was a rumour. It would h🅰ave been way too early.

“There is no doubt the crash damage bill he caused at Williams was not small. The one in Vegas, Williams were annoyed ⛎about that.”

Colapinto largely impressed in his earliest outings for Williams last year, which came as a midseason 🔴replacement for Logan Sargeant.

He was menti💙oned as a potential Red Bull driver amid Sergio Perez’s poor form.

Instead, Alpine snapped him up as a reserve driverꦚ 🦋having already confirmed rookie Doohan, alongside Pierre Gasly, as their 2025 line-up.

Doohan was plagued with rumours that Colapinto would tak🧔e his place even before the first grand prix of the season.

What next for Jack Doohan?

Doohan♐ steps back into a role as ꦍAlpine reserve driver for the next five F1 rounds, while Colapinto races.

His best hope for an F1 comeback?

“Hope that Colapinto crashes again, as I believe he has a co🅠uple of times, I don't know how serious they were,” Craig Slater said.

“Even in these four outings he’s had, t💧esting the 2023 car, there have been incidents.”

Chandhok is not convinced that Doohan will find another oppor🗹tunity in F1.

“It will be tough for🐎 him to land a seat som🐭ewhere else,” he said.

“He came into the Alpi🎉ne seat when they lost Esteban Ocon. They didn’t have any other established drivers [to 🧜consider as a replacement].

𓂃“They decided to promote from within. I don’t ꦉthink Jack was on the radar of any other team.

“With Cadillac coming in, there🦩 are rumblings about the driver market. But I am not hearing Jack at the top of anyone’s lis🤡t.

“His best option is if Colapinto struggles, and they give him the chanc🎐e to i♊mprove more.

“It is odd, the ♒five-race deal. It’s not exactly a vote of confidence to the driver.”
