Alpine have announced that Colapinto will be their reserve driver for the 2025 season. Williams have temporarily released him for this position, but he still has a multi year contact with them.
This puts pressure on Doohan who’s pairing up with Gasly as the Alpines drivers, with a rumour that the Australian has the first six races to prove his worthiness for the seat.
 
The teams have shown a lot less reluctance of late to let a poor performing driver go the full season. I am sure that is now being written into contacts across the board.

Whilst I would like to see a driver given a chance, the amount of money at stake, and the number of young drivers knocking on the door has pretty much seen those days gone.
 
Definitely the pressure will be on Jack. You just have to hope he gets to grips with the car and speeds quickly.

But in his last three seasons in F2/F3 he dominated team mates and definitely wasn't driving the quickest car on the grid.

Best chance of staying around is to put the pressure on Gasly.

Useless factoid -: HAM’s all time favourite supercar was on hand (i.e. Ferrari F40) for the shoot. HAM has also just turned 40. Coincidence that all these things came together for his first official Ferrari photo? 🤔

PS> HAM has awesome taste in Supercars. I’d sell my soul for an F40 🤤

PPS> Someone just crashed NOR’s F40 the other day :eek:o_O

 
No doubt those following the pre-season heard the news that HAM crashed the SF-23 in the final sector at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya during his 2nd test outing. Whilst not ideal there is one interesting bit of history that springs to mind…

HAM has crashed his car in pre-season testing in his inaugural year racing for a new team (in F1). In 2007, he crashed his McLaren. In 2013, he crashed his Mercedes. We all know what happened 12 months later when racing for both of those teams. Perhaps bodes well for 2026 at Ferrari 🤔

You might have seen the same image/post I saw on FB ;)

Very unlikely I'd say.
