Why Alpine have signed Colapinto - and what it means for Doohan
Description
We explain Franco Colapinto's move to Alpine as test and reserve driver and what it might mean for Jack Doohan in the latest episode of The Race F1 Podcast.
Scott Mitchell-Malm joins Edd Straw to unravel the interestingly-worded deal, and discuss how it fits into Alpine's plans for the future.
The question of how Alpine's other newly-announced test and reserve driver Ryo Hirakwa fits in with Colapinto - not to mention Paul Aron, who was signed as a reserve driver late last year.
And with Doohan's seat clearly under threat, we ask what his chances of seeing out the season are, and what he needs to do to prove to Alpine he's the driver it needs for the longer-term.
