Alpine F1 advisor Flavio Briatore has confirmed the Fre🅰nch marque’s interest in Franco Colapinto, increasing the pressure on Jack Doohan.

Alpine’s driver line-up for next year appears to be set in stone, with Doohan alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly.

However, even before Doohan made his F1 debut at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, speculation was rife about whether the Australi𒊎an would even gꦺet the opportunity to race for Alpine.

Briatore was reportedly interested in signing Colapinto, but that cooled after the Argentine’s 🌜run of crashes, combined with a hefty fee to prise him away from Williams.

Briatore said to German 💖publication Auto Motor und Sport: “I’m interested in any driver who is fast.

“Colapinto surprised everyone, but we have contracts with Gasly, Doohan꧅ and [Paul] Aron for next season.

“If there was an opportunity to get Colapinto for 2026, you have to thi𒁃nk about it. Nevertheless, you always have to be car💯eful when assessing drivers.

“In this sport, you quickly 𒊎get hyped up after a good race. Then the price rises and suddenly we’re talking about 20 or 30 million dollars.

“The choice today is much greater than it used to be. Today, there are six to seven promising drivers in Form෴ula 2 and Formu𒈔la 3.

“We want to concentrate on the good ones in💫 our academy and no longer run around with a watering can.

“It will probably come down to three drivers:💜 Aron, [Gabriele] Mini and [Victor] Martins.”

Doohan under immediate pressure to perform in 2025
