Franco Colapinto enjoyed a solid weekend in Montreal. It wasn’t by any means spectacular, yet it was the sort of weekend that was perhaps expected of him after being drafted into the Alpine line-up at Jack Doohan’s expense. But one swallow a summer doth not make; nor does a 13th-place finish undo the previous anonymity that Colapinto displayed in his opening three races at Enstone.<\/p>\n
The Argentine is on the cusp of his fifth race with Alpine; when it was first announced that Colapinto would replace Doohan in the line-up alongside Pierre Gasly, the press release made a note of an initial five-race deal for the ex-Williams driver. Executive advisor Flavio Briatore denied the existence of such a condensed timeframe, so his own comments in the aforementioned press release explicitly noting five races must come as some surprise.<\/p>\n
