After months of rumors swirling around Alpine, the team announced Wednesday that Franco Colapinto will replace Jack Doohan at the team starting at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola, Italy, on May 18.

Jack Doohan is “not good enough” for Formula 1 and made far too many mistakes early in his career, according to veteran racer Ralf Schumacher. Alpine rookie Doohan was benched by the team after last weekend’s Miami GP, with Franco Colpainto taking his place in the A525 cockpit for the next six rounds of the season.

Alpine has confirmed Franco Colapinto will replace Jack Doohan for the next five races, starting at Imola's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
