Former Alpine driver Jack Doohan has disclosed receiving severe death threats ahead of the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, as featured in Netflix's Drive to Survive Season 8. The 23-year-old Australian faced escalating pressure from rumors of being replaced by Franco Colapinto, leading to armed protection during the event weekend. Doohan later transitioned to a reserve role with Haas for 2026.
The Alpine Formula 1 team has denied social media claims that it sabotaged Franco Colapinto's car, attributing performance differences to minor gearbox issues in China. In a detailed open letter published Thursday, the team reaffirmed its commitment to equal treatment of drivers Pierre Gasly and Colapinto while condemning online abuse directed at both Colapinto and former driver Esteban Ocon. Alpine emphasized driver collaboration and its strong early-season position as the fourth-fastest team.
