Jack Doohan has been dropped by Alpine after just five races. His replacement is Franco Colapinto, pushed by the returning Flavio Briatore. Doohan had five races to prove himself in a car that is not very good.

Meanwhile Oscar Piastri was winning his fourth race of the season at the Miami Grand Prix. His fourth. In nine races. The lesson: in F1, the car matters more than the driver. Always.
