He does not seem to have been much of a step over the less experienced Jack Doohan.

In his three qualifying sessions so far, he is 0.392 seconds on average slower than team-mate Pierre Gasly, compared with Doohan's 0.366secs over the first six races.

And, like Doohan, he has scored no points.

It would be going quite far to say that it has backfired after just three races, but it's true to say that it's hard to discern any major difference between Colapinto's performance and Doohan's before him.

Ross Doohan, who has just left Aberdeen, and 18-year-old Bournemouth goalkeeper Callan McKenna have been called up as replacements for Gunn and McCrorie.
