The Argentine driver Franco Colapinto was confirmed as the replacement for Jack Doohan at Alpine for the upcoming Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, where he will begin his second season in Formula 1. The young driver from Pilar participated in the last nine circuits of the 2024 season aboard the Williams, in place of American Logan Sargeant, where he showed great performance and secured a spot in the French team for the current campaign, due to the low performance of the Australian.
His long-awaited debut came at the Monza Grand Prix, where he finished in twelfth place after starting from eighteenth on the grid. Later, he faced the challenging circuit of Baku, Azerbaijan, but the Argentine driver seemed unaffected by the pressure or adversities and finished in eighth place, earning his first points in the “Maximum.”
From there, his performance remained quite consistent, except for the Grand Prix in Brazil, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi, where he failed to finish the race.
One by one, Franco Colapinto's results in Formula 1: - Italy – Monza: Start 18th - Final Position 12th - Azerbaijan: Start 8th - Final Position 8th - Singapore: Start 12th - Final Position 11th - United States: Start 10th - Final Position 12th - Mexico: Start 15th - Final Position 10th - Brazil (Sprint): Start 14th - Final Position 12th - Brazil (Race): Start 16th - Final Position DNF - Las Vegas: Start 20th - Final Position 14th - Qatar (Sprint): Start 20th - Final Position 18th - Qatar (Race): Start 19th - Final Position DNF - Abu Dhabi: Start 20th - Final Position DNF
