Rewritten Article:
Amid the exhilarating chaos of the Miami Grand Prix, Jack Doohan found himself on thin ice at Alpine F1. The Aussie rookie, who once promised a sparkling new era for the team, was experiencing a turn of fortune following a pair of crashes during the race.
Doohan, despite displaying some promising moments in the 2025 season, unfortunately finds himself in the crosshairs after a tumultuous run, including a first-corner tangle with Liam Lawson and an inability to string together clean weekends consistently. This series of missteps has led Alpine to make a bold move – benching Doohan in favor of Franco Colapinto for the upcoming Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola[2][3].
Colapinto, Alpine's new reserve driver with impressive credentials from his 2024 stint at Williams, stepped into the spotlight to race alongside Pierre Gasly[1][3][5]. Doohan, however, is not completely out of the picture, as he retains a critical role within the team as their first-choice reserve driver during this shuffle[3].
It's a challenging time for Doohan, who has struggled to find his footing in his debut season. The decision to bench him, though a tough one, reflects Alpine's aspirations for stronger results amidst their bumpy start and internal team changes, including the departure of Team Principal Oliver Oakes[1].
As the F1 season unfolds, Doohan's future role within Alpine remains uncertain, with a further evaluation planned before the British Grand Prix in July. For now, the spotlight is on Colapinto as he looks to steer the team towards better fortunes[1][3].
