Alpine, a Formula 1 Scuderia, has undertaken a driver personnel reshuffle, elevating Franco Colapinto to a principal role for a minimum of the ensuing quintet of Grand Prix events, thereby precipitating the displacement of Jack Doohan.

Alpine ratified the alteration on Wednesday, a day subsequent to Oliver Oakes's resignation as team principal, with the team articulating that Flavio Briatore shall persist in his capacity as executive advisor and assume the responsibilities hitherto discharged by Oakes.

"Colapinto is slated to be partnered with Pierre Gasly from the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix onwards, pending a subsequent evaluation prior to the British Grand Prix in July," Alpine articulated in a communique.

Following the initial sextet of rounds in the Formula 1 season, Alpine occupies a rather unenviable ninth position in the constructors' championship hierarchy; the subsequent race weekend is slated to transpire at Imola between the sixteenth and eighteenth of May.

During the inaugural lap of Sunday's Miami Grand Prix, Doohan encountered a vehicular collision, followed by a subsequent impact during the ensuing circulation.

Speculation concerning a driver rotation, as disseminated by media outlets, was unequivocally dismissed by Oakes prior to the Miami GP weekend, who had previously intimated the rookie Australian driver's continued tenure in the seat.

Doohan, having failed to register any points in his septuple of Grand Prix appearances, with his zenith of achievement culminating in a P13 classification, shall revert to his designated capacity as the team's reserve driver.

Jack Doohan, scion of quintuple motorcycle world champion Mick Doohan, made his maiden foray into Formula 1 during the denouement of the 2024 season, subsequently commencing the current year's campaign with Alpine at the inaugural Australian Grand Prix, filling the void left by Esteban Ocon's departure from the team following a dispiriting 2024.

Colapinto's January induction into Alpine as a reserve driver came on the heels of a 2024 tenure with Williams, a period during which he amassed a tally of five points following his August deputization for Logan Sargeant.
