Alpine has made a significant driver change. Franco Colapinto will take the seat of Jack Doohan for the next five races, starting from Imola's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. This decision comes after months of speculation. Australian driver Doohan struggled in his races this year, with crashes and poor performances. Meanwhile, Colapinto impressed last year as a replacement at Williams. The move also follows the resignation of team principal Oliver Oakes, with Flavio Briatore taking over. In the drivers' championship, Oscar Piastri leads.
