Alpine has confirmed it will part ways with Jack Doohan ahead of the 2026 season, ending a brief and difficult stint for the Australian driver who managed just seven pointless races before being replaced by Franco Colapinto.
Alpine has confirmed that Franco Colapinto will stay with the team for the 2026 Formula 1 season, continuing alongside Pierre Gasly. With sweeping new regulations arriving, the team has chosen stability and long-term development over a reshuffle.
Alpine rookie Franco Colapinto admits mistake after defying team orders and overtaking Gasly at the US GP, reversing his stance and pledging to follow instructions before the Mexican round.
Pierre Gasly endured another difficult weekend at the Singapore Grand Prix, finishing 19th as Alpine’s point drought stretched to five races. With Franco Colapinto in 16th, the team now turns its attention to Austin for a potential rebound.
