Franco Colapinto ascended in the Williams team after the departure of an American driver, allowing him to demonstrate his potential in the elite of motorsport. His performance caught attention by finishing eighth in Azerbaijan, thus scoring his first points. He also had good performances in Singapore and the United States, finishing eleventh and tenth respectively, consolidating his presence in the category.
However, his performance in the last races of the season was inconsistent. In Brazil, a crash during heavy rain caused him to fall back in the standings, and in Las Vegas he finished in fourteenth place with a damaged car. In Qatar, his race ended prematurely due to an incident in the first corner, while in Abu Dhabi he was forced to retire due to issues with the floor of the car.
Despite these ups and downs, his overall performance caught the attention of the producers of "Drive to Survive," who are looking for stories of overcoming and emotional moments in Formula 1. Colapinto became a protagonist and sparked interest from various teams for the 2025 season. Although Red Bull showed interest in him, the Argentine driver decided to join Alpine under the guidance of Flavio Briatore.
As a reserve driver for Alpine, Colapinto will have opportunities to participate in the current season and to be part of the successful Formula 1 documentary. Following his debut in the top category with Williams and his impressive performance in Monza, his possible appearance in the seventh season of "Drive to Survive," which will arrive on Netflix on the upcoming seventh of March, is highly anticipated. Argentine fans are eagerly awaiting the presence of Franco Colapinto, who has revolutionized the country with his talent on the tracks.
