When F1’s other controversial early driver change happened Alpine F1 boss Flavio Briatore said he was only asking three things of Franco Colapinto: “he needs to be fast, not crash, and score points”.
Red Bull may have got there first dumping Liam Lawson after only two races, but Alpine only gave its rookie Jack Doohan six before bringing Colapinto in the expectation he would be a clear upgrade.
In the three races since, though, Colapinto is 0 for 3 in meeting Briatore’s demands - and this move, so far, is really not working out as planned.
00:00 A rough start
02:02 Be fast - X
04:20 Don’t crash - X
06:22 Score points - X
08:20 So what next?
