Franco Colapinto returned to the ring after three weeks of rest from the Formula 1 with a bittersweet weekend for the team Williams and his mechanics, who had to work against the clock so that both drivers could race on Sunday through the Grand Las Vegas Prize on the Strip Circuit.

Although the driver from Pilar improved his position from the last time, finishing 14th and considering that he started from the pit lane, the Argentines’ minds are focused on their future. Recently, the statements of one of the representatives of the Alpine team declared some interest in Colapinto, which further encourages the hope of seeing him in the queen category in 2025.

Flavio Briatorethe Italian advisor who works for Alpine, highlighted the Argentine’s work and excited the national fans, ensuring that everyone wants him on their team. In addition, he said that he considers him a good pilot with a lot of projection.

However, nothing prevents the panorama from changing in the coming months. According to specialized media reports, the 21-year-old Australian would have a performance clause in your contract: if you do not obtain a number of positive results in the first six races, you could lose your seat. This, added to the large number of comments of support that Colapinto is receiving from team leaders and track mates, fuels the hope of the Argentines.
