Alpine F1 advisor Fla📖vio Briatore has confirmed the French marque’s interest in Franco Colapinto, increasing the pressure on Jack Doohan.

Alpine’s driver line-up for next year appears to be set in stone, with Doohan alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly.

However, even before Doohan made his Fಌ1 debut at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, speculation was rife about whether the Australian would even get the opportunity to race for Alpine.

Briatore was reportedly interested in signing Colapinto, but that cooled after the Argentine’s run o🐟f crashes, combined with a hefty fee to pr🗹ise him away from Williams.

Briatore said to German publicaꦡtion Auto Motor und Sport: “I’m interested in any 🐓driver who is fast.

“Colapinto surprised everyone, but we have contracts with Gasly, Doohan and [Paul] Aron for next seaꩵson.

“If there was an opportunity to get Colapinto for 2026, you♒ have to think about it. Nevertheless, you always have to be careful when assessing drivers.

“In this sport, you quickly get hyped up after a good race. Then the price ris𓂃es and suddenly we’re talking about 20 or 30 million dollars.

“The choice today is much greater than it used to be. Today, there are six to seven p🀅romising drivers 𝔍in Formula 2 and Formula 3.

“We want to concent𒁃rate🍌 on the good ones in our academy and no longer run around with a watering can.

“Iꦓt will probably come down to three drivers: Aron, [Gabriele] Mini and [Victor] Martins.”

Doohan under immediate pressure to perform in 2025

Dooha🐲n will be under immediate pressure t🧸o deliver in 2025.

The 21-year-old got an ea✤rly taste oꦯf life in F1 after making his grand prix debut in Abu Dhabi.

Doohan stepped in early in place of Esteban Ocon after the Frenchman agreed a deal with Briatore to move asid🦩e in Abu Dhabi.

In turn, Ocon would be allowed to particip💎ate in the post-season Abu Dhabi test.
