Ex-F1 driver Anthony Davidson says 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan will need to “make himself irreplaceable” amid the looming threat of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Colapinto at Alpine.

Doohan will team up with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly iওn 2025 for his first full season in F1 at Alpine.

The Australian was handed a surprise F1 debut at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, taking the place of168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Esteban Ocon, who had agreed a deal with Flavio Briatore to leave the team early to test for🐎 his new team, Haas.

However, despite having just one F1 race start to his name, Doohan is already under immediate✃ pressure to keep his seat.

Alpine signed Colapinto as their test and reserve drive𓃲r for the upcoming campaign.

Briatore hig⛎hly rates the Argentine, putting pressure on Doohan to perform well immediately to avoid being replaced mid-season.

Assessing Doohan’s chances of keeping his seat, Davidson said via Sky Sports: “Jack Doohan had been patiently waiting for a race seat at Alpine since his🌠 F2 days and finally got that chance to line up on the grid at the f♓inal race in Abu Dhabi last year in preparation for this season.

“B🔯ut not long after he had signed, Colapinto arrives on the scene, putting immediate pressure on h🌜is shoulders even before we get to the first race.

“It’s obviously not an ideal situation to be in. There will certainly be no🐈 time to ease himself in as Doohan will 🔥be looking to cement his position in the team and make himself irreplaceable.”

What can Alpine achieve in 2025?

After a slow start t🎃o 2024, Alpine ended the year as the in-form midfield team.

Gasly's impressive end-of-season form prope🌠lled Alpine to sixth in the construct🌠ors' standings, ahead of Haas.

Alpine’s remarkable double-podium ✅finish at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix was the decisive factor in them winning the midfield constru꧋ctors’ fight.

202𓃲5 will be their final year as a works team before becoming a Mercedes customer.

Alpine’s form at the꧋ end of 2024 will give them hope of a strong year, po🃏tentially eying up Aston Martin, in the likely battle for fifth.
