Flavio Briatore, a powerful character who has just returned to the Alpine team as a special advisor, made F1 races stun by promoting unexpected decisions: making young young people Franco Colapinto are in an official position in the future squad, which means that Jack Doohan was considered a brilliant option, it will not be more time in the French racing team. This information immediately extended in the community of racing when the Argentine press, the homeland of Colapinto, simultaneously reported with pride and surprise. The 21 -year -old is playing in F2 under the MP Motorsport shirt, which is much appreciated for his stability and bloody spirit. Despite not winning, Colapinto impressed with the superior bold ones, the control of the tires and the especially professional attitude on the track, something that Briatore always appreciated the choice of careers.
The fact that Colapinto was “chosen to send gold” made the observers unexpected, because each sign showed that Jack Doohan was taking advantage of the official capacity in Alpine. The Australian corridor is the son of the legendary motorcycle Mick Doohan, has a close relationship with the racing team and has had the opportunity to try many times in 2023-2024. However, according to many internal sources, Briatore, with growing power after returning, is not completely convinced by Doohan. He wants a new breeze to be a commercial and long -term strategy. Colapinto, with a strong support from the Argentine community of fans and the South American media, is the piece that Briatore believes that experience can serve and help Alpine expand the global influence.
This movement creates a great shock in the young runs market and raised doubts about Doohan’s future. Many experts believe that the Australian pilot will have to calculate the way to other racing teams such as Haas or Williams, which is leaving many positions in the 2026 season. The Briatore intervention also shows that the French racing team is significantly changing the assertive management model, without being afraid to change personnel to update the image and the achievement that is trampled in its place. Whether Colapinto is officially confirmed or not, it is clear that the situation of the young corridor in F1 is entering a fierce competition, where each decision can create a domino effect throughout the paddock.
