Franco Colapinto will have the opportunity to establish himself and fight for a permanent place in Formula 1, with five races ahead. The official announcement from Alpine was followed by a series of viral posts from the Argentine driver, highlighting the emotional impact of his return to the top category of motorsport.
Franco celebrated his return as a main driver for Alpine with a viral video in collaboration with one of his main sponsors. In the humorous video, the Argentine driver was shown receiving a package at home and joking with the delivery person. The piece culminated with Colapinto opening his helmet and referencing his previous role as a reserve driver.
After his confirmation as a main driver for the next five dates of Formula 1, Franco expressed his excitement and enthusiasm through social media. Replacing Jack Doohan at Alpine, the Argentine was eager to get back into a car in the top category and affectionately referred to his long wait.
Colapinto's debut will be this Sunday at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, at the Imola circuit where he has already succeeded in Formula 3 and Formula 2 in previous years. His goal will be to earn a permanent place in F1, backed by Flavio Briatore and supported by fans who celebrate his return as a superhero.
Colapinto's return comes amid a complicated situation within the French team, within the context of a dispute among the executives. The anticipation for his performance in the upcoming races is high, and the Argentine driver will try to prove his worth on the track to secure a permanent place in Formula 1.
