LONDON (Reuters) -The Alpine Formula One team piled pressure on Australian rookie Jack Doohan on Thursday by signing Argentine Franco Colapinto as a reserve ready to replace him.
Renault-owned Alpine said the 21-year-old, impressive despite several crashes last year when he was brought in mid-season by Williams to replace dropped American Logan Sargeant, had joined on a multi-year deal.
