1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve says168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Franco Colapinto must prove he can be fast without crashing after taking over🐲 Jack Doohan’s Alpine seat for the neꦇxt five races.

After the Miami Grand 🔯Prix, Alpine announced that Colapinto will rep🌺lace Doohan for the next five races.

The Argentine’s rise to a full-time drive has been inevitable, having joined Alpin🦩e earlier this year as one of their test and reserve drivers.

Colapinౠto starred during ಌhis nine-race stint at Williams last year.

While Colapinto showed outstanding pace alongside Alex Albon, his sto🌄ck fell at the end of 2024 due to several high-profile mistakes.

At the time, Red Bull and Alpine were exploring the possibi𝓡lity of signing him, but Colapinto had to settle for a reserve role with the French team.

Co🍎lapinto will have five races to prove himself, starting at this weekend’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

Speaking ahead of FP1 at Imola on Friday, Vꦿilleneuve expressed reservations over Colapinto.

“He’s fast, but he’s also a crasher. So, which Franco will we♊ get? It’s always a toss of the dice. You just don’t know,” he said.

“So, will he be able to 𒀰be as fast without crashing, or will he have to slow down to not crash? That’s the big question, an💝d we’ll find out because he’s had a year out to digest.”

Colapinto set up for easier run

With Colapinto making his Alpine debut at the start of this European triple-header, it shouldꦦ be♏ easier for him to get up to speed.

Giving her view on Alpine’s driver swap, Jamie Chadwick said: “𒁃I think what’s good for him now is that he’s at tracks he knows. He’s at Eur🍎opean tracks. He’s done a lot in the junior categories here.

“Last year he was thrown into a lot of tracks he wouldn’t have known. He had COTA, Singapor🌼e, 🧸tracks that really were challenging. I think in that sense it’s going to be a little bit easier for him.

“That꧙ said, he’s got to hammer down as a race driver. He can’t show flashes of speed. He’s got to show c♍omplete weekend performances. He’s got to get those points for the team.

“That 🌳will make the difference if he’s going to m🐼ake out the rest of the year.”
