168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Colapinto go🀅t his first outing for Alpine at the💮 Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Wednesday.

Alpine’s F1൲ executive advisor, Flavio Briatore, posted a video on his Instagram account, showing Colapinto exiting the A523 at the S♔panish circuit.

ไAlpine were one of three teams present at the Barcelona track, with Ferrari and McLaren tesꦉting for Pirelli.

With Alpine making the most of their TPC (testing of previous cars) mile💙age, specific details of how Colapinto or Jack Doohan fared are unclear as the team🍒 hasn’t mentioned the test yet.

Regardles☂s, Briatore was keen to put the spotlight on Colapinto, whose lap times will likely be compared to Doohan’s.

As Colapinto is only a reserve driver,ཧ there’s no limit to the amount of mileage he can do behind🔥 an older F1 car.

For the 2🌊0 drivers on the grid, there’💫s a 1000km limit across the year.

A chance for Colapinto to impress?

Doohan is set to start the year as Alpin🎃e’s full-time driver alongside Gasly.

However, it’s widely expected that Colapinto will take his seat ꦅif the Australian fai😼ls to deliver the results.

Colapinto starred during his early races with Williams, replacing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Logan Sargeant in the middle of 2024.

However, a scrappy end to the campaign, littered with errors, and a widely-report🐓ed hefty buy-out-clause, meant interest cooled from other teams such as Red Bull.

Alpine unveiled Colapinto as their reserve and test driver at the start oꦍf 2025, but with rumours of Briatore being unconvinced about Doohan, a change mid-season is🌜 probably inevitable.

Briatore isn’t afraid to make brutal drive꧙r changes, par🔴ticularly with the second driver in the team.

While the test in Barcelona was a chance for Doohan and Colapinto to get up to speed, Alpine previously used a test at Paul Ricard to compare Doohan and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mick Schumacher.

Doohan impressed Alpine and was given the seatꦜ over Schumach൩er for 2025.
