Why Jack Doohan lost his Alpine F1 seat in just 150 days to Franco Colapinto
Alpine's decision to swap its drivers comes as little surprise given the prolonged pressure on Jack Doohan but, similar to Red Bull's recent switches, it shows how ruthless Formula One can be. The team's announcement on Wednesday that Franco Colapinto would replace the Australian driver for the next five races came after Doohan had only competed in seven grands prix, scoring zero points, with a highest finish of P13. By comparison, teammate Pierre Gasly scored seven points in this season's six grand prix weekends, his highest finish being seventh. In its statement, Alpine said Doohan was still 'an integral part of the team' and would be its first-choice reserve driver across the next five races. The decision to give Colapinto the seat up until at least the British Grand Prix in July was part of an 'ongoing assessment' of its driver line-up, Alpine's statement continued. The driver swap completes an active 24 hours for the team, the news coming less than a day after Oliver Oakes' shock resignation as Alpine's team principal. Executive advisor Flavio Briatore will take on Oakes' duties while remaining in his original role. But there was pressure on Doohan even before the 2025 season began. He needed to perform this season. Colapinto was signed as one of Alpine's test and reserve drivers in January after a standout debut with Williams in 2024 as a mid-season replacement for Logan Sargeant. Plenty of interest surrounded the Argentine, including from Red Bull as it worked out how to replace Sergio Pérez, but it began to cool after some late-season crashes. There's no doubt that Colapinto is a quick driver and a bright young talent, but he also brings significant commercial pull from Latin America. For example, e-commerce platform Mercado Libre joined Alpine as a sponsor this year when Colapinto didn't even have a race seat. Long before any of this arose, Oakes had told The Athletic during the 2024 Las Vegas GP weekend that getting the Alpine seat was a 'huge opportunity' for Doohan but also warned, 'probably in my role as the boss of the team, I also have to say, he's got to take that opportunity, and he has to deliver.' Doohan didn't have a full-time race seat last season, instead, he did a heavy testing program with Alpine, hoping to get a chance at F1. That moment came in December 2024 when Esteban Ocon and Alpine parted ways before the season finale in Abu Dhabi so the Frenchman could participate in the post-season test with Haas, his new home. Doohan made his debut in that race, finishing 15th. The Colapinto signing announcement came 31 days later. Even under that early scrutiny, Oakes publicly backed his driver, but the expectation was for Doohan to perform. He is a rookie, and it takes time to acclimate, but he should have been closer to Gasly's performances. The Frenchman's average lap times were quicker by approximately 0.17 to 0.50 seconds in the three races where neither driver retired (China, Japan, and Bahrain). It wasn't until last weekend's Miami GP that Doohan finally outqualified Gasly, but he retired after colliding with Liam Lawson on Lap 1 of Sunday's race. That was yet another costly moment for the team, just a fourth of the way through the season. He also had a DNF in the opening race in Australia and suffered a heavy crash during practice at Suzuka in Japan. In his statement, Doohan said he would keep working hard and 'watch with interest the next five races.' 'I am very proud to have achieved my lifelong ambition to be a professional Formula One driver and I will forever be grateful to the team for helping me achieve this dream,' he said. 'Obviously, this latest chapter is a tough one to take because, as a professional driver, I want to be racing.' Formula One is ruthless. We said the same when Red Bull swapped Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda. Oakes said in November that this sport isn't easy. There will always be pressure. Should Doohan have done better, given the preparation provided by Alpine? Possibly. But he is a rookie, and that's a steep learning curve regardless of your route to a seat. But the entire Alpine team, ninth in the constructors' standings on seven points, is under pressure to become competitive again, especially with a tight midfield battle. Alpine's last title was as Renault in 2006, with Briatore at the helm. In his statement, Briatore talked of the team's need to change, because the midfield was so closely matched and because the car was competitive after being 'drastically improved in the last 12 months.' But, tellingly, he also looked ahead to next season, to when the new regulations will come into effect. 'The 2026 season will be an important one for the team and having a complete and fair assessment of the drivers this season is the right thing to do to maximise our ambitions next year,' he said. 'The next five races will give us an opportunity to try something different and after this, we will assess our options.' The pressure was on Doohan to perform. For whatever reason, he fell short.

Formula One's Las Vegas Grand Prix race will start earlier in 2025. Here's why.
Formula One's Las Vegas Grand Prix race will start earlier in 2025. Here's why. Show Caption Hide Caption Shaquille O'Neal Says Social Media Would Have Taken His NBA Fame to Trillionaire Status Shaq reflects on how the power of social media could have transformed his earning potential during his time in the NBA. MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix – one of three annual F1 races in the United States – has received plenty of feedback from locals, the F1 community, ticket holders, and East Coast fans who aren't able to stay awake for the whole nighttime race in November. So, the Las Vegas GP is moving up its start time two hours earlier – from 10 p.m. PT to 8 p.m. PT – for its third edition Nov. 22-24, 2025. Ideally, the race will end around its original start time – allowing F1 drivers, teams and fans to experience more of the city after racing on the Las Vegas Strip. East Coast fans won't have to stay awake past 1 a.m. ET to tune in, while the time change still appeals to the overseas F1 markets in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. 'I think, as we've just learned, it's just slightly too late. So, we took on the feedback on what everybody was asking for, and for us to be stubborn about it isn't the right decision,' Las Vegas GP president and CEO Emly Prazer told USA TODAY Sports ahead of the 2025 Miami Grand Prix. 'Vegas has so much going for it that there's just so much to do. It just made a lot more sense to shift it up, and program it slightly differently. But ultimately, you're still going to have the night race experience – it's still going to be incredibly full on.' The Las Vegas GP is still establishing itself on the F1 calendar after its first two editions, when Red Bull's Max Verstappen won in 2023 and Mercedes' George Russell won 2024. The Vegas race will offer its cheapest tickets in its third year, hoping fans will buy earlier to avoid rising prices before the race. It's a different approach after Las Vegas needed to lower ticket prices in the leadup to their first two races. 'We're quite open about the fact that we had a very short window to make the first race happen, trying really hard to understand what all of that meant. We didn't have much insight into operating expenses, so there was a little bit of a challenge. We're now super confident that we know how to put this race on cost effectively, and so we wanted to pass through that benefit to the fan,' Prazer said of the lower ticket prices. Las Vegas officials also announced May 2 the opening of Grand Prix Plaza – touted as North America's largest F1 attraction with more than 100,000 square feet of activities. The venue features cars and artifacts from F1's 75-year history, while offering a go-karting experience on a track, F1 simulations, shopping and restaurants. The year-round venue uses the Paddock Club area utilized by the Vegas Grand Prix race. 'The one thing that we're super proud of is that the race is actually phenomenal, it's a super-fast track, and everybody loves the racing. We're making it the ultimate F1 experience,' Prazer said.

What's driving Cadillac? New F1 team counting down the seconds to 2026 entry
As inescapable as it is inexorable, everyone at Cadillac is aware the clock is ticking as they edge closer towards a moment of truth well over three years in the making. The expectation and anticipation for when the team, backed by US manufacturer General Motors, hits the grid as Formula One's 11th entry for the first race of 2026 is ratcheting up with every passing second. Appropriately for this all-American marque, the team are launching their F1 entry on Saturday night with a red-carpet event at Miami beach after the sprint race and qualifying have concluded at the Hard Rock Stadium circuit. Advertisement Related: Lewis Hamilton leads call for F1 drivers to be given more say in talks with FIA Backed by GM and the TWG Motorsports group, their effort is a full-on start-up, rather than the more well-trodden route of simply buying an existing team, with all the expense and resources that entails, and its perils and pitfalls. At the helm almost since its inception has been Graeme Lowdon, one of the very few F1 personnel who can lay claim to having already done it once before and who knows how quickly the time will go between now and lights out in Australia next year. 'We have on all of our facilities, on the wall of every office, a countdown clock which is showing the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds to the start of our first grand prix,' he says. 'We don't want to be in a position where there's some mad panic at the end.' Lowdon is Cadillac's British team principal and the 60-year-old has been here before, albeit in altogether different circumstances. He was integral to the Manor F1 team for their entry in 2010, a task he describes as starting in an empty room, with a screwdriver and an A4 sheet of paper and ending up seven months later on the grid. Advertisement Cadillac's road to F1 has enjoyed a significantly longer gestation but did have similarly humble beginnings, when in August 2022 Lowdon and two others were asked to begin planning what would ultimately develop into the GM works-backed team. The initial phase involved small steps without any certainty of an entry, the process grinding slowly through the FIA and F1. Yet the team had to be constructed because starting cold if and when entry was granted would have made the task all but impossible. Lowdon had to recruit without using the phrase 'Formula One team' with euphemisms such as 'top tier motorsport opportunity'. Nonetheless the process went on and when GM came on board and committed to building its own engine for 2029 it was a game-changer. At the Las Vegas GP in November last year the Cadillac entry, using Ferrari engines until 2029, was agreed. The expansion since has been exponential. They are recruiting currently, on average, one person a day and in the process of completing a new headquarters at Fishers in Indianapolis. It will sit alongside their facilities already in operation at Silverstone – the European hub – and the GM works in Charlotte, North Carolina, where they are also building the facility to manufacture the new engine. Advertisement Lowdon, however, has stressed the importance of people and here many of the key roles have been filled as the project progressed. The chief designer is Lowdon's former colleague from Manor, John McQuilliam, and the head of aerodynamics Jon Tomlinson, from Williams. Nick Chester, formerly of Renault is the technical director, Peter Crolla is on board as team manager from Haas and Pat Symonds, of Benetton, Renault and Williams, is an engineering consultant. Related: Welcome to Miami, where F1's sunshine party draws a crowd every sport craves Assembling them and a host of other personnel was indicative of how seriously the project was being taken, believes Lowdon. 'It's a huge, huge, huge testament to the owners,' he says. 'Throughout that whole time we were building a Formula One team but without certainty of an entry and that's a commitment.' Even with the recruitment drive the quest to get up to speed is going to be enormously hard, although Lowdon is calm and believes they are on target to do so. Nonetheless they have still to reach the first hurdle of completing the build and fire-up of the car – there is a countdown clock for that too. A functioning race team must be honed for competition and then what seems almost a bagatelle in comparison but which will attract the greatest attention, the task of hiring the drivers. Advertisement The team will not discuss names of whom they are engaging in talks with but there is naturally some expectation that such a proud American brand will want an American driver in a seat. It was the original Andretti-Cadillac team's attempted entry into F1 which transformed into the GM-backed Cadillac works entry. Mario Andretti remains an adviser and Andretti's American IndyCar ace Colton Herta is considered a likely candidate, alongside the experienced Sergio Pérez who is believed to be being actively pursued. Lowdon simply insists the decision will be made on merit but notes US drivers are in that mix. The importance for F1 of having a US manufacturer, then, cannot be played down. F1 already has one American team in Haas but this is a different ballgame. It's an American team backed by a global manufacturer, with a long history in motorsport. Their entry is indicative of the weight they attach to F1 in selling their brand across the world and of the increasing significance of the sport in the US, which as Lowdon notes has the potential to create an 'enormous' fanbase. Which, for the moment, remains the stuff of ambitious intent in the boardrooms and perhaps the daydreams of fleeting moments for those at the sharp end of making it happen and for whom the clock never stops. 'It's a really, really big task,' acknowledges Lowdon. 'The first race of next year we need to be on the grid. We can't turn up a week later and just say: 'Everyone else had the race last week, we'll have it this week.' That just won't wash.'
