With just one F1 race to his name, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan is already under imꦫmediate pressur📖e to keep his drive at Alpine for the upcoming 2025 campaign.

On Thursday, Alpine announced they had s💖igned Franco Colapinto on a “multi-year” deal from Williams as their ne🌳w test and reserve driver.

Given the plethora of rumours surrounding Colapinto and Flavio Briatore's interest in him, Doohan’s time in♔ 🅠F1 is likely to be short-lived.

Alpine have assured ♏that Doohan will be in the car for the start of the season, but the Australian has been left in an increasingly awkward position.

At least for Doohan, he was able to make his F1 debut with Alpine, stepping in for168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Esteban Ocon at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

One driver who was signed by an F1 team but didn’t take part in the first race of the year was Brazilian dri🐷ver Luiz Razia.

For 2013, minnows Maꦫrussia opted for an al🃏l-rookie F1 driver line-up of Razia and British driver Max Chilton.

Marussia were one of the th🍌ree teams that had joined the grid at the start of 2010.

By 2013, HRT ✃had fallen off the grid, while Marussia – and Caterham – had stiജll yet to score points.

Fighting for their F1 survival, Marussia signed Razia mainly due to🌳 his significant financial backing.

The Brazilian had replaced veteran Timo Glock for the upcoming campaign, 💜severely weakening their driver line-up, on paper at least.

Razia’s promotion from reserve driver to full-time driver came very♛ late, with the official announcement✅ only happening in February as 2013 pre-season testing got underway.

Razia’s exit paves way for Ferrari protege

Fast forwa꧂rd three weeks, Marussia had released Razia 🧸after his Brazilian backers had missed their second payment.

Team boss John Booth explained the decision, as quoted by Autosport: “We have found ourselves in a situation where we 🔴have had to te๊rminate our contract with Luiz Razia.

“Having made clear the basis on which we must operate in 2013, and given the steps we had taken to put that new structure in place, we had n♓o alternative but to remain true to the principles which we had identifieℱd as being key to securing our long-term future.”

It meant that Razia, despite signing for the team, never goඣt the o𓆉pportunity to make his F1 debut.

It proved to be a blessing in disguise, though, as Marussia w෴ere able to sign Ferrari protege Jules Bianchi.

Bianchi would flourish at the team, scoring their first points 💧at the 2014 Monaco🐓 Grand Prix.

The Frenchman’s performances would have likely put him in contention for a Ferr𒈔ari drive in the future had it not been for his tragic accident♑ at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.

Bianchi lost contro🅘l of his car in treacherous conditions at Suzuka, with his car sliding under a 🌟recovery vehicle.

He spent the subsequent nine mont෴hs in an induced coma, tragically passing away on 17 Ju♏ly 2015.

Bianchi༺'s legacy continues to be🌃 felt in F1, with the introduction of the Halo safety device.

He was also the godfather of current Ferrari driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc.
