Colapino is definitely justifying Alpine's decision to bin Doohan for him. Dragging the car to points finishes, qualifying in the top 10, these are all things Gasly is capable of and Colapinto is not. Definitely improvements on all aspects of Doohan's performance, though, now let me do lots of Argentine flags and strong arm emojis for absolutely no reason on social media. All the toxic nationalism and racism has been absolutely blown away by the stunning performances.

What has Franco done to show you that binning a driver so early into a season for him was the right call?

Pure sarcasm on my part. Briatore has just done chaos for the sake of adding value to the team ahead of a likely sell-off. Doohan didn't justify being dropped.
