F1 rookies defend dropped Doohan after 'unfair' treatment
- Alpine dropped Australian rookie Jack Doohan after six of the 24 races in the 2025 Formula One season, replacing him with Franco Colapinto.
- Doohan faced high pressure from the start and competed in a difficult environment, including new tracks and sprint events that challenged rookies.
- Fellow rookies Oliver Bearman and Isack Hadjar publicly defended Doohan, saying his treatment was unfair given he lacked competitive machinery and limited chances.
- Bearman expressed sympathy for Doohan, describing the circumstances as extremely difficult and criticizing how he was handled, during the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix.
- Doohan remains on Alpine's driver roster but may focus on simulator work while Colapinto, who joined as reserve in January, races for at least five events.
