Six races into the 2025 Formula 1 season and two driver changes have already taken place, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the driver market.
The first driver change took place after the Chinese Grand Prix, which saw Liam Lawson demoted from Red Bull and return to Racing Bulls.
It was decided by the Milton Keynes-based outfit that Yuki Tsunoda would replace him, having missed out on a Red Bull promotion on several occasions.
This week, a second driver change was confirmed, with Alpine having demoted Jack Doohan back into a reserve role for at least the next five races.
Franco Colapinto has been given the second Alpine seat from next weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix to prove what he can do, before a further evaluation takes place ahead of Silverstone.
Two driver changes so early in the season is incredibly rare, but will this season feature yet another change?
