Despite the loud rumors about Franco Colapinto, the French team has decided on another driver for the 2025 season. According to the team, unlike Paul Aron, Ryo will work more on the simulator, as well as help test cars from previous years ��
In addition, the Alpine management announced that Hirakawa will perform in the first practice in Japan on April 4. The home Grand Prix will not be the first in his career: last season, the Japanese took part in the first practice in Abu Dhabi for McLaren. In addition, as part of the post-season tests on December 10, he joined Ocon at the wheel of the Haas car.
Do we still believe that Franco Colapinto will be able to appear in Formula 1? ��

Confused here... What is Apline doing? They're going to have Colapinto and Ryo as test drivers? Or are they going to boot Doohan before the season even starts?
