Hirakawa joins Alpine F1 team as test and reserve driver
Alpine has added Toyota-backed Ryo Hirakawa as a test and reserve driver, and will run him in FP1 at the Japanese Grand Prix in April. Hirakawa was most recently with McLaren as part of its driver development program, and was one of the team’s reserve drivers in 2024. The Japanese driver took part in FP1 at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last year and then also drove for Haas during the young driver test that followed, thanks to his links with Toyota. While Alpine has been linked with a move for Franco Colapinto as a potential reserve option, it has now confirmed Hirakawa will join Paul Aron as carrying out simulator and testing of previous car (TPC) duties.
