Alpine F1 made a significant driver change, replacing underperforming Jack Doohan with experienced reserve driver Franco Colapinto.
Colapinto, grateful for the five-race opportunity, emphasized his readiness and commitment to maximizing performance alongside Pierre Gasly.
Doohan's lackluster results, including zero points and several poor finishes, ultimately led to his removal from the team.
This strategic move by Alpine aims to improve their competitiveness and potentially climb higher in the Constructors' Championship standings.
