Why have Alpine promoted Colapinto? Ferrari fortunes to change? – 2025 Emilia Romagna GP Preview with Rob Smedley + Lawrence Barretto

Tom Clarkson is joined by F1 correspondent and presenter, Lawrence Barretto, and former Ferrari and Williams engineer, Rob Smedley, to discuss all the big talking points ahead of this weekend’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

Why have Alpine swapped rookie Jack Doohan with Franco Colapinto after just six races? How does this opportunity compare to Franco’s nine races with Williams last season? And after the shock resignation of Team Principal Oliver Oakes, what sort of person will Alpine be looking for to replace him?

The guys also chat all things Ferrari ahead of their first home race of the season and Lewis Hamilton’s first Italian race in red. After their challenging start to the season, are their fortunes likely to change in the upcoming triple header? Having had many similar situations on the pit wall during his career, Rob shares his thoughts on their team orders in Miami and why he thinks Hamilton’s team radio was a good sign for the Scuderia.

George Russell is just six points behind Max Verstappen in the Drivers’ Championship, so is he a title contender? Should Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff give Russell a new contract, even if Max Verstappen is available?

Plus, Rob gives his view of Williams’ progress over the last 12 months. How do they take the next step of finishing on the podium?
