1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve says168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Franco Colapinto must prove he can be fast without crashing after taking over Jack Doohan’s Alp🌞ine seat for the next five races.

After the Miami Grand Prix,🌞 Alpine announced that Colapinto will replace Doohan for the next five races.

The Argentine’s rise to a full-time drive has been inevitable, having joined Alpin🍸e earlier this year as one of t𓂃heir test and reserve drivers.

Colapinto starred during his nine-race stint at Williams last y🎶ear.

While Colapinto showed outstanding pace alongside 🧸Alex Albon, his stock fell at the endꦅ of 2024 due to several high-profile mistakes.

At the time, Red Bull and Alpine were exploring the possibility of signing him, but C⛄olapinto had to settle for a reserve role with the French team.

Colapinto will have fiv𓆏e races to prove himself, starting at this weekend’s Emilia Romagna ꦡGrand Prix.

Speaking ahead of FP1 at Imola on Friday, Villeneuve expressed reservati💞ons over Colapinto.

“He’s fast, but he’s also a crasher. So, which Franco will we get? It’s always a tos༒s of the dice. You just don’t know,” he said.

“So, will he be able to be as fast without crashing, or will he have to slow down to not crash? That’s the big question, and we’ll find out be𒐪cause he’s had a year out to digest.”

Colapinto set up for easier run

With Colapinto making his Alpine debut at the start of this Euro𒊎pean triple-header, it should be easier for him to get up to speed.

Giving her view on Alpine’s driver swap, Jamie Chadwick said: “I think what’s goo꧋d for him now is that he’s at tracks he knows. He’s at European tracks. He’s done a lot in thꦓe junior categories here.

“Last year he was thrown into a lot of tracks he wouldn’t have known. He had COTA, Singapore, tracks that really were challenging. I think in that sense it’s going to be a littl൲e bit easier for him.

“That said, he’s got toꦺ hammer down as a race driver. He can’t show flashes of speed. He’s got to show complete weekend performances. He’s got to get those points for the team.

“That will make the difference if he’s going to make out the rest of th𝄹e year.” ♋;
