Colapinto proved a Alpine car for the first time
With the beginning of the 2025 season closer, Franco Colapinto tried for the first time an Alpine car of formula 1. The Argentine participated in the First TPC test (Previus Car test)where they handle the cars of at least two seasons ago for the use of the reserve pilots, a role that will have in the French team at least in the first races of the year.
The executive advisor of Alpine, Flavio Briatorewas the one who announced the step of Collapint For the TPC tests through an Instagram story. The Italian was a key piece for the Bonarense to join the team with a five -year contract.
Tuesday, Jack Doohan, Alpine titular pilot at least for the first five racesalso spinned with Alpine’s car although Briatore did not mention. In the event that its performance is not the desired one at the beginning of the season, it is possible that the Australian debutant be replaced by the Argentine.
While they did not specify what year was the car I use Collapint, He was seen carrying the helmet he used in Formula 3 in 2023, with the Argentine flag on the sides. The test was in the Cortus of Catalonia, in Montmeló, the headquarters of the Spain Grand Prix Since 1991.

Doohan, being the most inexperienced of the team, has an arrangement for only Five races with Alpinewhich can be extended in case it shows good results. This can cause great pressure to such a young Rookie, with only 21 years. For now, he is eager to debut as the main pilot in his native country, on March 16 in the first race of the official F1 2025 calendar.
In case that Jack does not prove What the team leaders are looking for and does not pay what is necessary, would be replaced by Franco from the sixth career, being in the United States, in the Miami Grand Prix.
