Alpine is considering switching Jack Doohan with Franco Colapinto in time for F1's next race at Imola Doohan's place in F1 has been under constant scrutiny since Alpine signed Argentinian star Colapinto has been underwhelming in the six races of his rookie season so far While he has shown flashes of encouraging qualifying pace, crashes in Australia and Japan raised alarm within the team -- his first-corner tangle with Liam Lawson during Sunday's Miami Grand Prix was terribly timed in the context of his F1 future Sources have told ESPN a plan to put Colapinto in the car for Imola gathered pace during the weekend in Miami but the cogs appear to have been turning behind the scenes for a while CEO of the Argentina energy company and Colapinto backer YPF was caught off-mic during a break in an interview saying he would be in the car for the Italy race Doing so now would allow Colapinto three consecutive weekends of racing with Imola's contest followed by races in Monaco and Spain Nothing has been confirmed yet and Alpine is expected to use the off week between Miami and Imola to decide the next course of action Jack Doohan has had a difficult start to his rookie season. Kym Illman/Getty ImagesColapinto will have relevant experience of each track from his Formula 2 career Colapinto became an overnight superstar in his home country after his unexpected elevation to a Williams race seat last summer as Logan Sargeant's replacement Colapinto joined Alpine on a loan deal at the start of this year -- Williams boss James Vowles strongly hinted at the start of the year the deal was signed off because it would eventually lead to race experience Alpine boss Ollie Oakes had downplayed the switch on Friday ahead of the Miami race: "As it is today Jack is our driver along with Pierre," he said he also said: "We've been pretty open as a team that that's just noise But it's natural that there's always speculation there." Oakes cancelled his planned Sunday evening media session with the official reason being a change in travel plans That is not uncommon for team bosses after races featuring delays due to weather or red flags but Miami's race had gone exactly to schedule despite pre-race fears over rain and thunderstorms ESPN understands Doohan would still remain with the team in some capacity should the Colapinto swap take place Doohan had been a long-serving member of the Alpine junior programme I agree to the use of cookies and similar technologies to serve relevant advertising and improve my service Pay to read The Race without adverts or cookies used for personalised ads By logging in, you agree to our use of third-party and analytics cookies to enhance your experience and improve our services.

Alpine is a disappointing ninth in the standings ahead of only Sauber which may well force the Enstone squad to reconsider its options Ever since 2024 Williams reserve Colapinto was signed by Alpine over the off-season, rumours swirled over Doohan's longevity with the Enstone squad noise that Alpine admitted was partly of its own making That pressure has only ramped up in recent weeks with the CEO of Argentinian energy giant YPF Horacio Marin caught saying Colapinto would be in the car "in Imola" after a TV interview later clarifying it was only wishful thinking on his behalf Alpine team principal Oliver Oakes said: "I think it was a sponsor from Argentina off-camera giving his view on Franco I’m sure there’s a lot of people in Argentina who’d like him in the car this Sunday We’ve been pretty open as a team that that’s just noise But it’s natural that there’s always speculation there When pressed for a black and white answer on whether Doohan will remain in the car in two weeks in Imola Oakes said Doohan was the team's driver "as it is today," leaving wiggle room for interpretation before adding the team is "always evaluating" its line-up making a decision before Imola would make sense as the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix on 18 May forms the first race in a triple-header that includes Monaco and Barcelona But Motorsport.com understands that timing is not a factor in Alpine's decision In any case, Colapinto is well prepared to step in at short notice as part of his reserve duties with a mixture of simulation work and private testing, and it is worth pointing out that the Argentinian made his F1 debut last year in the middle of a Zandvoort-Monza double-header Colapinto caused an immediate impact on his nine-race Williams cameo replacing Logan Sargeant which led to a brief spell of interest from Red Bull But the Argentinian's inexperience also showed in violent crashes in Las Vegas and Brazil which put Red Bull off his scent before Alpine swooped in over the off-season to add the 21-year-old to its roster of reserve drivers Alpine advisor Flavio Briatore, who runs the team alongside Oakes, is reported to be keen on giving Colapinto a chance sooner rather than later The Argentinian also enjoys considerable backing from his supportive home country with sponsor Mercado Libre already following him from Williams to Alpine From Formula 1 to MotoGP we report straight from the paddock because we love our sport In order to keep delivering our expert journalism we want to give you the opportunity to enjoy an ad-free and tracker-free website and to continue using your adblocker Audi announce organisational restructure ahead of F1 arrival in 2026 5 Winners and 5 Losers from Miami – Who excelled in the Sunshine State Tsunoda concedes he ‘made life much more difficult’ with five-second penalty in Miami after battling for final point Antonelli taking plenty of positives from Miami weekend despite struggles on way to P6 in the Grand Prix ‘We took the tough decision’ – Vasseur defends Ferrari team orders situation in Miami as he acknowledges Hamilton’s frustration Alpine Team Principal Oliver Oakes has addressed rumours that the team will replace Jack Doohan with reserve Franco Colapinto at the next round in Imola insisting the Australian will be racing at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix Speculation over Doohan’s future at the team has been a frequent topic at the start of the season initially fuelled by Alpine signing the highly-rated Colapinto as a reserve driver in January following his nine-race stint with Williams last year READ MORE: Piastri reveals where pole ‘went away’ from him during Miami Sprint Qualifying as Norris pleased to be back ‘in a good ballpark’ Leading into this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix claimed – during an off-air moment in a TV interview – that the former Williams super-sub would debut with Alpine at the Emila-Romagna Grand Prix Asked about those comments in the team principals' press conference in Miami Oakes poured cold water on the claims and stated that Oakes confirmed Doohan would be driving in Imola when asked in Friday's press conference in Miami about the comments on Colapinto “I think it was a sponsor from Argentina off-camera giving his view on Franco "I’m sure there’s a lot of people in Argentina who’d like him in the car this Sunday READ MORE: ‘I did not expect it!’ – Antonelli ‘over the moon’ with debut pole in Miami Sprint Qualifying "Jack needs to continue doing a good job But it’s natural that there’s always speculation there."

Oakes was asked to confirm if Doohan would drive at Imola later this month Doohan was 16th in the sprint race in Miami on Saturday interviews and promotions from the paddock direct to your inbox For more information see our Privacy Policy Often reporting on the action from the ground Lewis tells the stories of the people who matter in the sport © Crash Media Group Ltd 2025.The total or partial reproduction of text photographs or illustrations is not permitted in any form It appears we have our second in-season Formula 1 driver axing in 2025, with Alpine set to replace Jack Doohan with Franco Colapinto from the next race at Imola A driver change in season is always a sad development and very rarely anyone’s intention.  It reflects something not going as hoped or planned there is a particularly cruel aspect in that someone’s dream is over and what they’ve worked incredibly hard to earn is taken away What is earned must keep being earned and F1 drivers are subject to pretty excruciating was a function of the team’s tendency for upheaval.  and his extensive testing programme were all put in place well before the current Alpine team leadership were around.  He isn’t ‘their’ driver. Never really was And Oliver Oakes didn’t even join Alpine himself until the die was cast as Alpine had missed out on Carlos Sainz - with Doohan left as the path of least resistance.   while Oakes was keen to back Doohan as much as possible because that was in the team’s best interest he and Briatore were inevitably going to want to make their own driver choices at some point.  Now that’s finally happening at Doohan’s expense on a harsh timeline for any team except maybe Red Bull To select a driver and only run them for the first six events of a season (and one at the back end of the previous year) without being forced into the situation always reflects badly on a team's decision-making processes But while Doohan deserves enormous sympathy for the sudden interruption but at the top level you have to seize whatever opportunity you get with both hands and make the most of it Doohan has failed to do that and make himself undroppable which realistically was what he needed to do in the early races of 2025 to avoid this fate You can argue that he was being set up to fail but in F1 you are always vulnerable if you don't prove yourself to be a superstar driver and Doohan fell short of that.  it is a shame given he did show plenty of signs of good underlying speed notably in outqualifying team-mate Pierre Gasly in main qualifying last weekend There's no doubt he had the ability to become a regular points scorer certainly at the tracks where the weaknesses of the Alpine package didn't make it impossible and with more time there's no doubt he'd have had some strong weekends Elite sport can be cruel and Doohan has good reason to feel hard done by but the reality is that he didn't do enough to stave off his fate The team certainly didn't put him in a position to deliver his best and Doohan himself knew full well he was walking a tightrope he could have done more even with this narrow window of opportunity We didn't see the best of Doohan this year He will rue the fact that he only sporadically showed the very real pace that Doohan hasn’t made a great fist of trying to seize his chance at the start of this year The team undermined its rookie driver before the season had even started by dangling Colapinto over his head it’ll be able to point to Doohan’s patchy handful of weekends as justification for the switch.  Will Alpine also accept that it didn’t give Doohan the best environment to get the job done due to the circumstances it created around him?  I’ve seen his struggles to look comfortable in F1 compared to the other rookies that have got off to good starts in 2025 but none of those came into this year fearing that after a handful of races they could be gone So it’s not an entirely fair comparison.  The only surprise in this whole affair was the brief moment where it looked like the team had changed its mind and was going to give Doohan at least half a season. What happened with that?  it’s utterly plausible that someone changed their mind based on nothing of substance Or perhaps it was a way to smoke out some more commercial support from South America or speed up any incoming payments from existing arrangements…  None of the above is a reflection on Colapinto’s worthiness for an F1 seat He should get off to a better start than Doohan did let’s hope he’s given more time to turn it around.  Doohan definitely did not make an ironclad case that he was Alpine's best possible version for the long term but there was also clearly no priority given to making this work He was put in an unreasonable situation and couldn't beat the odds I'm not naive enough to pretend this is a novel way of going about business for F1 it is probably no coincidence Alpine team boss Oakes has spent much of this year sounding like a punchier jokier Christian Horner - and it's not like most F1 teams wouldn't discard both of their drivers in a heartbeat if they felt doing so could improve the team situation very funny when you remember the whole Oscar Piastri thing all that hand-wringing about driver loyalty all those quotes from then-Alpine chief Laurent Rossi about how now the Alpine Academy was suddenly maybe not worth it anymore because drivers and their management lacked integrity Different people are in charge now at Alpine they certainly do not have to answer for Rossi's words It's a wider top-level motorsport thing anyway (yes I'm thinking about the whole Alex Palou/McLaren saga) No F1 driver should ever be faulted if they leave a team even if everyone's saying they owe that team a lot They can never-ever hesitate - because team bosses certainly will not For all that Jack Doohan’s likely early exit from Alpine may seem unfair considering some strong potential he has shown we have to remember that Formula 1 is not a charity And one of the harsh realities about life as a F1 driver is that when opportunity comes knocking Just look at how Ollie Bearman’s destiny changed when he pulled off that sublime performance in Saudi Arabia last year or even how Colapinto wasted no time in getting up to speed with Williams in Monza and Baku last year Doohan’s run of seven races offered plenty of opportunities for him to prove to his Alpine bosses that he was the right man to lead them on the biggest ace up his sleeve was incumbency teams do not keep drivers because of their potential tomorrow – they want to see what you deliver today.  a bunch of penalties and that Japanese GP crash (even though it emerged afterwards it was not 100% his fault he kept the DRS open) are the opposite of what Alpine needed which was strong finishing positions and some points on the board There is no excuse that rookies need time to get up to speed now – just look at Isack Hadjar and how Kimi Antonelli put his Mercedes on pole position in the sprint race last weekend.  even with the competitive situation of Alpine not being brilliant was make progress and ram home some finishes that showed he was moving onwards and upwards Some of these team principals need to take a good look at themselves and realise they are actually playing around with someone’s careers if not lives They don’t seem to take any responsibility for these rash decisions Liam Lawson was a typical example at Red Bull and now Doohan at Alpine - the management of both these teams made decisions to give these drivers a shot at the big time so they should see that out and give them a fair crack of the whip it’s a bit 'how long is a piece of string?' the drivers have had the chop when at least 50% of the root cause of their failures were actually down to the teams I think they should stand by their commitments and give these guys a chance until they get a minimum of three clean race weekends and then make a judgment and not a spur-of-the-moment decision after a bad weekend As far as the Alpine decision is concerned and its comments over the weekend it shows that Oliver Oakes Alpine’s ‘team principal’ is simply a puppet with Flavio Briatore pulling the strings behind the scenes.  do I think Lawson or Doohan are or were going to be the next Max Verstappen Probably not - but then is there another one on the horizon probably Piastri is in line for that accolade but is Colapinto a step forward from Doohan If he can repeat his early performance when he replaced Logan Sargeant But if he performs like he did at the end of his time in the Williams another Formula 1 team has fallen victim to its own decisions The moment Alpine signed Colapinto as a reserve driver I know F1 is a brutal business - but before Doohan had even started the season he was already under intense public pressure after the team he had been nothing but loyal to decided to put an alternative driver as a potential replacement in the shop window for everyone to see Has Doohan seized the opportunity given to him but Alpine certainly haven’t provided him with the environment to thrive either this is the same team that let current championship leader Piastri slip through their fingers into the welcoming arms of McLaren - so should we really be that surprised Andres Marin and Tad McCrea made the first ascent of the south face of Mount Providence in the Alaska Range Their new 1,000-metre route is called Journey Through the Castle of Providence and graded WI4 M5 5.10 with steep snow The first ascent team first spotted the line in 2024 from the Thunder Glacier “After a stretch of inclement weather, we were lucky to catch a narrow window and flew into the range,” Pfaff told Planet Mountain “Conditions on the face were better than we could have hoped The lower half climbed through steep snowfields eventually leading to a rock headwall lined with huecos and chicken heads corniced ridge finally brought us to the seldom touched summit.” There are several reports of new routes on Providence in the American Alpine Journal, read one from 2017 here and 2005 here. A post shared by Andres Marin (@andresmarin22) Get the digital edition of Gripped for your chosen platform: And was his start to 2025 sufficiently disappointing that he deserves to be replaced after just six rounds Our international panel of writers have their say Let’s say that Doohan has been under such pressure since the beginning of his journey as a full-time driver for Alpine — pressure that has been largely fuelled by the (sometimes not so) ambiguous statements from his bosses — that one could argue whether Alpine is right to consider replacing him is almost irrelevant The question always seemed less about "if" and more about "when" Photo by: James Sutton / Motorsport Images Doohan's days seemed numbered from the start and the dice appear to have been loaded in favour of Colapinto The Australian couldn’t have been unaware of this he didn’t do himself any favours by rarely matching his team-mate’s performance on track and by getting involved in costly incidents — the most obvious being his big and silly crash at Suzuka while it's true that Doohan's seat never seemed secure beyond a few GPs anyway and certainly not as much as Colapinto did during his short stint at Williams last year (The Argentine also had some big crashes but at least he scored points.) In short this is not a move that presents any major sporting risks and could offer some attractive financial opportunities It’s not a question of whether Alpine is right or not Doohan hasn't really been there since the season started less than two months ago in Australia and six rounds in F1 these days is enough to know if a driver can deliver or not Let’s look at the facts. There's a narrative — a word much used in the paddock last weekend in Miami — that Doohan has shown flashes of raw pace on one lap. But Pierre Gasly has outqualified him 6–2 so far — sprints included — and the average gap between the two is 0.367 seconds Gasly has finished ahead of Doohan in five out of six races If you’re wondering in which grand prix the Aussie beat the Frenchman — well that was when Gasly was disqualified for a technical infraction in Shanghai after finishing 11th Alpine has a driver in Colapinto who has already proved he can swim when thrown in at the deep end as was evident when he started his racing tenure with Williams He scored points in Baku — with a Q3 appearance — in just his second race on his way to completing his first five grands prix with an average finish of 10.6 Doohan’s so far — albeit in different machinery — is 15.6 You can really feel for Doohan if this is truly the end of his time with Alpine — his situation could probably have been different if Colapinto hadn’t been waiting on the sidelines he got six races to prove himself — something not everyone got this season.. The story of Doohan and Flavio Briatore reminds me — an Austrian — very much of the story of Alexander Wurz and Flavio Briatore Wurz was Formula 1’s next big thing — if only for a few months when he refused to sign a management deal with Briatore and subsequently fell out of favour Doohan is now learning the same lesson: that it’s difficult to sustain a Formula 1 career within a Briatore-led team unless you have Briatore’s full backing One could argue about whether Doohan is a future world champion or not But the fact that speculation about his replacement with Colapinto surfaced during the off-season — long before the first race had even taken place — hardly provides the kind of stable environment a young driver needs to unlock his full potential Would Doohan perform better if his future weren’t constantly being called into question Would his performances be strong enough to justify keeping Colapinto — with his talent and the financial incentives he brings — on the sidelines indefinitely It’s a pity that Oliver Oakes didn’t seize the many opportunities he had to put an end to the rumours once and for all A statement that includes "as of today" is not a statement Just like you don’t give a compliment by saying but…" That’s something Toto Wolff once taught me I would have liked to see how good Doohan could have been if his team had given him full trust Poor Jack was never really given a serious chance I would personally like to see Doohan get more time, because I do believe in giving rookies enough seat time to settle — see Yuki Tsunoda — and by all accounts he is a good guy they can be expected to perform at a high level immediately That means not only showing flashes of pace trouble-free performances that teams can rely on to come out on top in the closest midfield battle in F1 history it hasn’t happened yet for Doohan — which is a shame The question is now: Will that consistency come in good time or not It feels obvious that it’s a question of when why go through the trouble of prying him loose from Williams — which also assumed he would get promoted eventually If the team feels Doohan’s adaptation is going to take too much invaluable time then you can see why it would slot in a ready-made replacement ahead of a busy European run-in rather than delay the inevitable but I do think this is about performance first There aren’t many guys in the paddock as humble Losing a job he loves and was so desperate to get is not something you’d wish on anyone he must have been aware things may change quickly if he didn’t deliver as a rookie he was put in a very difficult situation and asked to perform straight away but the situation would’ve been a lot different had his path to F1 been more successful And you can’t separate the two parts of a career The ones who prove themselves to be excellent in junior categories tend to get more time and patience from their F1 bosses they prove themselves a lot faster than those who didn’t really shine in previous championships Doohan got as good a chance in F1 as he probably deserved — and it was under enormous pressure — yet he still got that chance Colapinto’s path to F1 wasn’t that straightforward either — yet he did exactly what the F1 paddock values so much: he impressed And that’s ultimately all there is to know… has yet to score a point in six races this season and one at the end of 2024 The Race.com website said Alpine were evaluating Doohan’s position following another retirement at the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday The driver has been dogged for months by questions about his future with Alpine signing Argentine Franco Colapinto from Williams as a reserve before the start of the season Colapinto raced nine times for Williams last year as replacement for dropped American Logan Sargeant and scored five points with a best finish of eighth in Azerbaijan lpine’s executive advisor Flavio Briatore a team boss of the team in its former guises of Benetton and Renault

Lawson’s Racing Bulls on the opening lap and retired Jack is our driver along with Pierre (Gasly),” Oakes had said on Friday when asked to confirm Doohan would be in the car at Imola Apart from Doohan’s lack of points and failure to finish higher than 14th the latest rumour of an impending change were triggered by one of Colapinto’s Argentine sponsors suggesting in an unguarded television moment last month that it would happen for Imola He later clarified it was only a personal opinion “I’m sure there’s a lot of people in Argentina who’d like him in the car this Sunday,” said Oakes when asked about that on Friday “We’ve been pretty open as a team that that’s just noise But it’s natural that there’s always speculation there.” Doohan said in a team review of the Miami race that he was focusing on the coming European races “We have the week ahead to reset and work to prepare for the upcoming triple-header as we head into the start of the European season,” he said. (Reporting by Alan Baldwin) signed with Alpine as a reserve in January The Argentine’s name routinely has been considered as a replacement for Doohan who has struggled in six races during his rookie season was caught off-microphone in a recent interview saying Colapinto would be in the car for the May 18 race in Italy Speculation has been rampant given Doohan’s poor start including a first-lap crash at the Australian Grand Prix on March 16 and four penalty points at the Chinese Grand Prix a week later The 22-year-old Australian also crashed in the second free practice session ahead of the April 6 Japanese Grand Prix Doohan, however, kept his spirits up after an opening-lap incident with Liam Lawson at the Miami Grand Prix “We just have to look into it because it didn’t end well for me and I don’t think it helped him out as well. We’ve just got to keep our heads up. Looking forward to Imola now,” Doohan concluded. (Reuters) Alpine is evaluating Jack Doohan’s position and considering whether a driver change is needed as soon as the next Formula 1 race at Imola.   Doohan’s Miami Grand Prix ended on lap one after contact at the first corner with Liam Lawson who Doohan hit after braking early on the inside for Turn 1 then climbing over the kerb trying to avoid the Racing Bulls car.  It is the latest in a disappointing run of races at the start of Doohan’s rookie season which had actually begun brightly in terms of underlying pace.  But it has also been filled with several incidents He crashed out of the season opener in Australia on lap one in the wet picked up penalties in the sprint race and grand prix in China crashed heavily again in Friday practice in Japan and has now been eliminated on the opening lap for the second time in six events.  That record makes for an early trend of not piecing together complete weekends or delivering on the potential he has shown it was particularly unfortunate as it came in the first race that Doohan had outqualified team-mate Pierre Gasly He is one of four drivers yet to score a point in 2025 Doohan’s place has been at risk since Alpine signed Franco Colapinto from Williams as a test and reserve driver for 2025 Alpine’s executive advisor Flavio Briatore is a big supporter of Colapinto and has been keen to try him in a race seat but there has been division within Alpine on how best to proceed as the preference of others is to give Doohan time Alpine signed Doohan to the race seat in August last year and after extensive speculation at the start of the season about the threat from Colapinto, it was agreed that Doohan should have until the summer to prove himself - with Briatore even expressing that sentiment as of the end of the Miami Grand Prix weekend The Race understands that a change could be made early in the season after all potentially in time for the triple-header that begins at Imola in two weeks’ time.  Alpine said it would not comment on rumours and team principal Oliver Oakes did not conduct a media session on Sunday evening in Miami Earlier in the weekend in an FIA press conference he had slightly equivocated on Doohan's position by saying "as it is today Doohan expects to begin preparations at Alpine’s Enstone headquarters for the upcoming races “It was obviously good to get my first qualifying in front of my team-mate and feeling confident in the car,” Doohan said of his Miami weekend.  “These are the small little wins that we unfortunately have to take from this weekend - but we'll be carrying that into Imola “We have some sim work to do on the car and some sim work to do for the upcoming few races although I feel like I haven't really even done much driving.  “So I will be just shifting the focus straight to what's to come.” Whether he gets that chance depends on whether Alpine’s stakeholders opt to remain patient or give Colapinto a chance after all.  The young Argentine driver made a strong first impression when he joined Williams for a part-season last year and scored points despite his inexperience although did then have a mix of crashes and more difficult race weekends.  He also attracted significant backing from Latin American companies and that has carried over to Alpine which struck a partnership with Mercado Libre in February.  Argentina’s state-owned oil company YPF is a Colapinto backer and while it does not have a direct deal with Alpine is now a strategic partner of Eni - Alpine’s energy and fuel partner as of February this year.  YPF CEO Horacio Marin made headlines when he appeared to state Colapinto would be driving for Alpine at Imola while unaware he was still on air during an interview in Argentina - although he subsequently claimed he was only expressing his personal hope that would be the case Oakes also responded to that earlier in the weekend during his FIA press conference appearances "I think it was a sponsor from Argentina off-camera giving his view on Franco "I’m sure there’s a lot of people in Argentina who’d like him in the car this Sunday.  "We’ve been pretty open as a team that that’s just noise.  Utah — Lone Peak Police have identified skeletal remains found in Lambert Park last Friday as Gabrielle Makenna Shull of Alpine Investigators were able to confirm the identity through dental records The remains were found in Lambert Park by a person who was riding on horseback through the park is an area that's "largely undeveloped and used for biking and foot traffic," the Lone Peak Police Department said went missing from her home in January 2024 and while many searches were conducted in and around Lambert Park at the time More time is needed for detectives to complete their investigation Police shared their thoughts are with Gabrielle's family at this time Gabrielle's family released a statement saying "Gabbie’s sweet personality has been and will continue to be greatly missed Our family is so grateful her remains were found many people who helped in trying to find her.” Doohan, the 22-year-old Australian, faced rumours of his seat being under threat before he had even sat in the cockpit, having signed an early deal with Alpine before the driver market fully developed last season, while Colapinto impressed at Williams. With Alpine keen to assess Doohan’s qualities, they put him in the car in Abu Dhabi at the end of last season, as well as the six races of this campaign.

fortnight’s time and it could well be that an Argentine lines up alongside Pierre Gasly in the Alpine squad Multiple reports point towards Alpine considering dropping Doohan ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix less than a week after the CEO of a Colapinto sponsor let slip off mic that the Argentine could be making his F1 return in Italy and led to Alpine Team Principal Oliver Oakes being

Another wrote We’ve known they’re gonna do it”—referencing the growing speculation and even leaked comments from sponsors suggesting Colapinto’s debut was imminent Doohan, the 21-year-old Australian, has been widely seen as a promising prospect. Though Alpine’s performance has struggled overall, Doohan has shown resilience, racecraft, and consistency in difficult machinery. Fans were quick to come to his defense “IMHO Doohan has shown in the lower formulae that he has pace Franco Colapinto before the Las Vegas Grand Prix Others took aim at what they perceive as deeper problems within Alpine—and f1’s talent pipeline altogether. Some pointed fingers at Red Bull, with one sarcastic post reading: “Red Bull has done irreversible damage to this sport.” And of course, it wouldn’t be F1 Twitter without a bit of dark humor: “So they can have millions more in crash damages.” While Colapinto is an exciting talent—Argentina’s brightest F1 hopeful in years—the way this potential switch has surfaced is raising concerns Imola would mark Colapinto’s long-awaited debut in F1 but it may come at the cost of momentum and morale inside Alpine’s already unstable garage fans are left to refresh feeds and fire off hot takes—while Doohan and Colapinto wait for clarity from the top Register | Sign in Pierre Gasly: "Overall "At least we are leaving Miami with one point following the Sprint Race yesterday We knew that today's race was going to be tricky after having had a couple of issues on the car which we tried to fix for today I suppose we would have liked the rain to come during the race to give us a chance to fight but it did not come in the end We need to do some analysis on the performance we had here as we have been faster in previous races We have work to do between now and the next race in Imola." Jack Doohan: "It was a tough end to the weekend for my side of the garage We were starting from the middle of the pack which always creates a challenge coming into the first few corners We were squeezed going into Turn 1 and with nowhere to go we had contact with [Liam] Lawson The damage was too much to make it back to the pitlane safely and we ultimately had to retire the car especially in managing the difficult weather conditions and I have felt comfortable in the car across the weekend Our focus now shifts toward the next few races We have the week ahead to reset and work to prepare for the upcoming triple-header as we head into the start of the European season." Team Principal: "We leave Miami disappointed where ultimately we lacked performance to be competitive enough to fight for points Although we did not come away from Miami empty-handed Pierre was not happy with how the car felt in Qualifying and given his starting position we opted to make changes to his car and start from the pitlane so in a conventional dry race we tried to make progress and pitted Pierre under the second VSC Although we made up several positions ultimately it was only good enough for 13th Jack's race unfortunately ended on the first lap after contact with Lawson at Turn 1 We have some time now between races to understand where we can improve and come back with some more performance for the European triple-header starting in Imola."

Alpine has confirmed to The Race that Viry will resume assembly and operation of the A424 WEC engines after the 2025 Le Mans 24 Hours (14-15 June) once most of the F1 activities have been completed and there is availability at Viry as Alpine has never hidden its desire to maintain a competition activity in Viry-Châtillon even after its F1 team moves to Mercedes engines Alpine will continue to work with Mecachrome on its WEC programme When it came to finding an engine to power its A424 WEC car "The choice was made following a call for tenders," explained Alpine Motorsport vice president Bruno Famin in August 2023 "We consulted several engine manufacturers and finally opted for Mecachrome The engine was modified to adapt to the constraints of endurance racing although everyone still remembers last year's double retirement from the Le Mans 24 Hours before nightfall which is said to have contributed to the good results achieved by the A424 at the end of last season despite encouraging reliability in the last four races Alpine has decided to use one of the five Evo Jokers available to manufacturers between 2021 and 2027 to modify its turbo Frédéric Makowiecki and Jules Gounon finished third in the Imola 6 Hours But to be sure that the work done has paid off we will really have to wait for Le Mans next month the V6 turbo in this car will now be assembled in Viry-Châtillon at the Hypertech Alpine facility where the F1 engines were designed The site transformation involved reallocating resources and competencies currently assigned to the F1 engine Various activities are grouped together there: its in-development 'Future Alpine Supercar' R&D on cells and new battery chemistries research into new electric motor technologies F1 monitoring unit to master technical developments in this industry and the development of engineering services for other companies But Mecachrome's expertise is well known in the industry and it would have been surprising if other manufacturers had not taken advantage of the end of this idyll with Alpine/Renault to secure its services we couldn't work with other teams because we were bound by an exclusive contract with Alpine," Cornille explained "As soon as we were released from our obligations which we will be supporting in the manufacture of a number of parts." and the collaboration has obviously already begun there is no question of assembling the engines; that's a task entrusted to Audi Formula Racing GmbH in Neuburg in a specially adapted centre equipped with 22 state-of-the-art test benches we manufactured parts and assembled engines," Cornille added we manufacture parts but do not assemble engines this allows us to minimise the social impact on our site in Aubigny."

To mitigate the risk posed by such threats it's advised to download Android apps only from trusted app marketplaces and avoid downloading "free" paid versions of software from dubious sources The disclosure comes as Kaspersky revealed that various large organizations in Russia have been targeted by a sophisticated backdoor by masquerading it as an update for a secure networking software called ViPNet "The backdoor targets computers connected to ViPNet networks," the company said in a preliminary report "The backdoor was distributed inside LZH archives with a structure typical of updates for the software product in question." Present within the archive is a malicious executable ("msinfo32.exe") that acts as a loader for an encrypted payload also included in the file "The loader processes the contents of the file to load the backdoor into memory," Kaspersky said This backdoor is versatile: it can connect to a C2 server via TCP allowing the attacker to steal files from infected computers and launch additional malicious components and SOC security to respond quicker and stop breaches early AI agents boost business—but create risks and strategies from industry leaders – all for free Alpine has become the first team to be penalised in Miami The Alpine F1 team has received a €1,000 fine following the sole practice session at the Miami Grand Prix The fine was handed down to the Enstone-based squad after Jack Doohan was found guilty of speeding in the pit lane during the session The pit lane speed limit in Miami is set at 80 km/h - however Doohan exceeded this by 17.5 km/h and was logged doing 97.5 km/h as he entered the pit lane on one occasion ahead of only the Aston Martin of Lance Stroll The Australian driver enters the Miami event hoping to secure his first points of the season and add to the tally collected by team-mate Pierre Gasly in Bahrain The sun had set by the time I reached the top of the skin track on Earthquake Dome a popular backcountry skiing zone near my home in Mammoth Lakes It was a February evening and I’d driven ten minutes from my home in town to ski an after-work lap I’d overestimated my speed and underestimated the low winter sun and now I was transitioning a pair of uniquely shaped skis—so rockered they looked like a banana—for their first ever lap downhill I couldn’t see a thing and just prayed I wouldn’t slip and take a pratfall like in a cartoon A few weeks earlier I sat on a Zoom call with Xan Marshland Marshland had wanted me to test the Intention 108 the Salt Lake City-based brand’s flagship ski made partially with stringers of an algae-derived plastic Very few ski manufacturers put polyurethane (i.e But polyurethane is an engineered material and vibration damping properties to make the ski do exactly what they want And only WNDR’s plastic is fully renewable Marshland believes that not only does the algae make WNDR’s skis eco-friendlier I’ve tested skis for a living for the last five years and I have long been skeptical of space-age and eco-friendly materials being responsible for marked increases in performance But as I’ve spent more and more time on the WNDR Intention 108 it has turned into my favorite ski ever made the future of WNDR Alpine is unknown at this time The company recently put all of their skis and snowboards on clearance and seem to have sold the entirety of their backstock Marshland told me that the brand has some prospective buyers in the wings hope the brand finds a new home and continues to be a driving force of innovation and sustainability in skiing Standing atop Earthquake Dome that night and clicking into the skis it was time for the algae-based plastic to hit the snow right?) I let my headlamp-equipped fiancée lead figuring I could follow her light through the maze of tight trees back to the car quickly-receding glow of white—my only guide After getting used to the ample rocker (e.g after a few tumbles in the dark) I began to increase my speed and feel what Marshland had described on our call in the ski’s construction the polyurethane in its core muting the vibrations that should have been transmitted to my body from the firm and choppy snow that had been sitting for a few weeks since the last storm As I began to ski the WNDR Intention 108 more and more in the coming weeks I realized that the plastic was the secret sauce—that it was sustainably sourced was just icing on the cake Heavier ski boots designed for expert skiers are made from a heavy polyurethane that is formulated to produce a smooth progressive flex when a skier drives their shins into it This ski had the exact same feeling—the dampness the return of energy that drew me across the fall line I’ve skied many hundreds of different pairs of skis in my life but the Intention 108 is hands-down my favorite and these skis are not just dependable—they’re so much fun unlocked feel of the Intention 108’s full rocker shape by putting the ski on edge or  fully embrace it by skiing it on a flat base In steep terrain with firm snow—the conditions many experts will tell you necessitate having camber under your feet—the Intention 108 can pivot and slide making it easy to hop turn down sketchy stuff The full rocker profile also makes the Intention 108 is easy to ski in moguls and air off the slightest bump or takeoff It even carves surprisingly well for its width and lack of traditional camber I’ve never ridden a ski that possessed such mind-boggling versatility An obvious sticking point for a lot of skiers will be the Intention 108’s weight That’s a lot for most skiers to lug uphill but WNDR doesn’t bill the Intention 108 as a dedicated backcountry ski If your average day in the mountains has you clocking more than 3,000 to 4,000 feet of elevation gain But for me, with a lightweight tech binding (a Moment Voyager XIII) and a medium-weight AT boot (the Scarpa Quattro Pro) I find that I don’t start to drag below 4,000 vertical feet the ski’s weight can be advantageous—on long tours in the high alpine you often encounter all sorts of weird and difficult snow textures; the Intention’s weight can help mellow out rough conditions I wish more ski manufacturers would consider putting polyurethane in their products they’re just more predictable than twitchy WNDR’s algae-based plastics and resins replace toxic glues and petroleum products in their skis leading to a ski that’s both easier to recycle and less harmful if it ever does end up in a landfill skiers who prioritize edge hold in nasty snow will want to opt for a cambered ski Those skiers are in luck: the Intention 108 also comes in a cambered shape WNDR made a move last year to make their Intention 108 in the Sideways Sports (SWS) factory in Dubai The idea was to bring their algae oil technology to a facility that also makes snowboards for Arbor Once the factory knows how to use the microalgae-oil plastic they can use it in other brands’ products making their product in a facility that uses 100-percent green energy is a huge win And I’m hugely supportive of the sharing of ideas that could make the snowsports industry less harmful to the environment The SWS factory also has the capability to produce a binding plate made from the factory’s own reclaimed waste that is 35 percent stronger than the industry standard That said, making skis in Dubai—far away from the snowsports world—vastly increases product shipping distances, requiring more fuel and energy. Dubai also has a suspect history with labor rights and safety standards that shouldn’t be overlooked. My greenwashing (and sportswashing) antennae tend to prick up when I hear of sustainability and the United Arab Emirates I am certain that WNDR Alpine is good for the ski industry I hope the company finds a competent buyer and continues to push skiing forward you can find me high in the alpine through the summer months with the Intention 108 under my feet and tech with access to unlimited digital

nutrients Based on the measurements mainly derived from tropical current projections suggest that resorption efficiency is higher for leaf nitrogen (N) than for phosphorus (P) in cold regions these projections have not been fully validated due to the lack of observations in permafrost ecosystems we carry out a large-scale sampling campaign along a permafrost transect on the Tibetan Plateau resorption efficiency is higher for leaf P than N in permafrost ecosystems (75.1 ± 1.8% vs Our results also reveal that leaf P resorption efficiency is higher in permafrost ecosystems than in global herbaceous plants while there is no difference for leaf N resorption efficiency there is a trade-off between leaf N resorption efficiency and soil N mineralization rate These results illustrate the unique characteristics of plant nutrient resorption in permafrost ecosystems and advance our understanding of nutrient conservation strategies in little-studied permafrost regions a better understanding and a more precise estimate of leaf nutrient resorption are essential for accurately evaluating plant nutrient status and predicting terrestrial C dynamics under changing environmental conditions due to the limited number of direct measurements the relative sizes of leaf  N and P resorption efficiency in permafrost zones across a broad geographical scale remain unclear Sample sizes of leaf N and P resorption efficiencies are 83 and 65 for graminoids Data are represented as the means ± SE (standard error) and different letters (unadjusted P < 0.05) represent significant differences (lowercase letters for N and capital letters for P) These results demonstrate that there is a more severe restriction of P supply across our study area which could therefore be responsible for the higher leaf P resorption efficiency observed in this study P concentrations in the senesced leaves would be below the complete resorption boundary (<0.4 g kg−1 for P) The senesced leaf P concentrations observed in our study were close to the complete resorption boundary at 23 of the 30 sites suggesting that leaf P resorption proficiency was high across Tibetan permafrost ecosystems these two lines of evidence support the view that plants have a high P conservation capacity from senesced leaves This situation may thus result in a severe restriction of available P for plants and the observed high leaf P resorption efficiency across Tibetan permafrost ecosystems a Relationship between N concentrations in the mature and senescent leaves b Association between P concentrations in the mature and senescent leaves c Linkage between resorbed N:P and leaf N:P concentrations in the mature leaves d Correlation between log10-transformed resorbed N:P and log10-transformed leaf N:P concentrations in the mature leaves The gray dashed line in each panel is the 1:1 line Only significant relationships are shown using solid lines Error bars denote SE of mean at each site (n = 3) and P value) are shown for the linear mixed-effects models with two-sided t-tests (unadjusted P < 0.05) our results illustrated that the three basic strategies existed simultaneously in the permafrost region on the Tibetan Plateau a Relationship of leaf N resorption efficiency with topsoil N mineralization rate b Association of leaf P resorption efficiency with topsoil P mineralization rate A significant relationship is shown by a solid line Statistics (R2 and P value) are shown for the generalized linear mixed-effects models with two-sided t-tests (unadjusted P < 0.05) P acquisition by plants can be less reliant on mobile inorganic P derived from soil mineralization leading to no trade-off relationship between leaf P resorption efficiency and soil mineralization rate as observed here Our results also showed that there was a trade-off between leaf N resorption efficiency and soil N mineralization rate but no such trade-off for P: a difference between the N and P cycles within ecosystems that should be taken into account when exploring how nutrient cycles regulate plant C uptake in this little-studied permafrost region All collected samples of mature and senesced leaves were oven-dried at 65 °C to constant weight and roughly ground with a crusher A portion of them was then finely ground with a ball mill before chemical analyses Community-level mature and senesced leaf N concentrations were determined by an elemental analyzer (Vario EL III Leaf P concentrations were measured with a spectrophotometer (ICAP6300 USA) after a microwave-assisted digestion with H2SO4 and H2O2 at 380 °C for ~3 h Before the measurement of leaf N and P concentrations in-house standards (Phenylalanine) were used to calibrate the concentration of total N and a standard calibration curve for P concentrations was prepared using a serial dilution of inorganic P solution During the measurement of leaf N and P concentrations reference materials (GBW10020 GSB-11 Citrus leaves approved by General Administration of Quality Supervision Inspection and Quarantine of the People’s Republic of China) were run with the samples to further evaluate the effect of calibration and to check the accuracy of N and P concentrations The analytical accuracies of the elemental analyzer and spectrophotometer were better than 0.1% for N concentration and 1 ppb for P concentration leading to the fact that leaf nutrient resorption efficiency could be affected by any potential seasonal variations more attention should be paid to such potential seasonal variations in order to generate a more comprehensive estimate of plant nutrient resorption across this study region determines the relationship between senesced and mature leaf nutrient concentrations: After converting with log10 transformation a linear regression is shown between log10 (Nusen) and log10 (Numat) as: By combining Eqs. (1) and (3) leaf nutrient resorption efficiency can be expressed as: By converting with a log10 transformation, a linear regression between log10 (Resorbed Nu1:Nu2) and log10 (Leaf Nu1:Nu2) is shown as Eq. (6): By combining Eqs. (1) and (5) All aboveground vegetation within the tubes was clipped and their bottoms covered with nylon mesh bags containing ~5 grams mixed-bed ion-exchange resin (Sigma Amberlite 150 mixed-bed resins) these resin bags were shaken in 2 M KCl solution for 3 h to saturate exchange sites with K+ and Cl− ions were then put back in their original locations and soils at the same depth were sampled near each tube The resin bags were set out in the field from mid-June to mid-July and removed from mid-September to mid-October 2021 the bags were replaced once a month to avoid oversaturation of the ion-exchange resin the resin bags were rinsed with deionized water soil samples from within the tubes were collected Soil samples and resin bags were both transferred to the laboratory (State·Key Laboratory of Vegetation and Environmental Change Chinese Academy of Sciences) and stored at −20 °C they were extracted for 30 min with a 1 M KCl solution at room temperature The extracted liquids were analyzed for NH4+-N NO3−-N concentrations using a flow injection analyzer (Autoanalyzer 3 SEAL; Bran and Luebbe The inorganic P concentrations in the extracted liquids were analyzed using the vanado-molybdate method with a spectrophotometer (UV-2550; Shimadzu the soil N or P mineralization rate was determined by calculating the difference between the post-incubated amount of inorganic N (NH4+-N and NO3−-N) or inorganic P in the soil and resin bags with the corresponding values in the soil before incubation These rates were expressed on the basis of the bottom area of the plastic tube and the incubation time (ng cm−2 d−1) inorganic N or P concentrations of before-incubated soils were measured simultaneously with those of the post-incubated soils and resin bags to reduce systematic errors across different measurement times during the measurement of soil inorganic N and P concentrations in-house standards (quantitative inorganic N and P solutions) were run with the samples to check the accuracy of the N and P concentrations A global dataset was compiled from published datasets before October 2024 by searching the Web of Science (https://webofscience.clarivate.cn) The final dataset consists of 134 studies containing 998 observations of leaf N resorption efficiencies and 913 observations for leaf P resorption efficiencies 83 and 65 are for N and P resorption efficiencies while 43 and 27 are for N and P resorption efficiencies where MLCF is 0.780 for evergreen broadleaves Further information on research design is available in the Nature Portfolio Reporting Summary
