Colapinto will move to Alpin, but Duen`s place is safe for now. The Race has confirmed that Williams` reserve driver Franco Colapinto will join Alpin.
At the same time, the Argentinean will not become the main driver of the team immediately - Jack Douin will start the 2025 season together with Pierre Gasly. The deal between Franco and Alpin should be announced in the coming days.
The publication recalled that Alpin executive director Flavio Briatore did not rule out a change in the lineup during the 2025 season. Colapinto`s presence should increase the pressure on Duane.
However, the replacement of Jack with Franco after a few races does not seem inevitable to journalists. If the Australian`s performance meets certain criteria, Alpin presumably won`t be able to part with him.
The contractual option to sack after six races, as previously reported in the press, appears to The Race to be an aggressive version of the severance options typical of Formula 1 agreements. It will not be possible to activate it if Jack performs:
If he performs at the level required by the Alpins or better, the team will not have the need, and probably not even a way, to replace him with Colapinto.
