that's a really odd move. why would he not have stayed at Williams unless there is a guaranteed seat at alpine next year. How much have alpine paid to release him from the Williams contract just to have him as a reserve

By what race will Franco Colapinto replace Jack Doohan? My take: after DOO's home race debut in Australia 😉 Alpine will go the Red Bull route...with a mid-season swap, that seems certain as an intention.
