168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Colapinto got h🅠is first outing for Alpine at the C♐ircuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Wednesday.

Alpine’s F1 executive advisor, Flavio Briatore, posted a video on his Ins✱tagram account, showing Colapinto exiting the A523 at the Spanish circuit.

Alpine were one of three teams pr꧑esent at the Barcelona track, with Ferrar💜i and McLaren testing for Pirelli.

With Alpine making the most of their TPC (test❀ing of previous cars) mileage, specific details of how Colapinto or Jack Doohan fared are unclear as the team hasn’t mentioned the test yet.

Regardless, Briatore wa💙s keen to put the spotlight on Colapinto, whose lap times will likely be compared to Doohan’s.

As Colapinto is only a reserve driver, there’s no limit to the amount of mileage he can d🃏o beh🔥ind an older F1 car.

For the 20 drivers on the grid, there’s a 1000km l🌜imit ꦡacross the year.

A chance for Colapinto to impress?

Dooh🃏an is set to start the year as Alpine’s full-time driver alongside Gasly.

However, it’s widely expected that Colapinto w🎉ill take his seat if the Australian fails to deliver the results.

Colapinto starred during his early races with Williams, replacing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant in the middle of 2024.

However, a scrappy end to the campaign, littered with erroꦛrs, and a widely-reported hefty buy-out-clause, mea𒉰nt interest cooled from other teams such as Red Bull.

Alpine unveiled Colapinto as their reserve and test driver at the start of 2025, but with rumou🐭rs of Briatore being unconvinced about Doohan, a change mid-season is proba🏅bly inevitable.

Briatore isn’t afraid to🦂 make brutal driver changes, partiꦚcularly with the second driver in the team.

While the test in Barcelona was a chance for Doohan and Colapinto to get up to speed, Alpine previously used a test at Paul Ricard to compare Doohan and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mick Schumacher.

Doohan impressed Alpine and was give꧒n the seat over Schumacher for 2025.
