A news of great impact shakes both Formula 1 and Argentina. Various European and Argentine media agree that Franco Colapinto will make his debut in Alpine during the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, and Jack Doohan has already been notified of the replacement.
The specialized portal "The Race" was one of those that spread the scoop, although it was somewhat predictable that sooner or later the driver from Pilar would have his opportunity, especially due to the increased pressure on the Australian since the Argentine joined the French team.
Meanwhile, the performance of the 22-year-old has not been the best. In Sunday's race, he only completed one lap before colliding with Liam Lawson, from Racing Bulls, and retiring due to the damage suffered, in addition to a punctured tire. It was not the only negative episode, as he had also wrecked his car during free practice in Japan.
Although there is no official confirmation yet that Colapinto will be the replacement, the media positions him as the favorite, surpassing Paul Aron, another reserve driver, in consideration. It was also mentioned that Doohan would remain as an alternative in the team.
