In the prelude to Miami Grand Prix of the Formula 1 that takes place this weekend, the expectation for an eventual return of Franco Colapint He grows, and after some bad results of his teammates, this Tuesday came the bomb that all the fierreros of the country expected: the confirmation of the return of the pillare to the maximum, now with Alpine.
The Argentine is currently a reserve in the French team, after his first and auspicious passage through Williams in last season. However, the lazy start of the Australian Jack Doohanthe second driver of the franchise seems to precipitate the armchair to the native of Pilar.
This Tuesday, Horacio Marín, CEO of YPF, provided an interview in the América 24 signal. Although they consulted him on the eventual return of Colapinto, the chief of the oil company, one of the main sponsors of the national pilot, avoided giving an answer.
However, after the refusal, the driver fired Marín and went to a mobile. The microphone was hooked: “In Isola,” he heard in the background. And the theme detonated in the networks immediately.

So far, Colapinto was accompanying Alpine in almost all the events of the season, either in the paddock as in the simulator at the Esteone headquarters. However, it will not participate in the next Miami Grand Prix, since the French team decided not to include it to avoid internal tensions, as it transpired.
It is that Alpine comes from suffering a hard setback in Saudi Arabia, where the team did not add points, so it had transpired that authorities met with Franco and his surroundings to give him a rein to his return to Formula 1.
Thus, everything indicates that Colapinto will return to Formula 1 in Icola, on the weekend of May 18. Apparently, Doohan’s time was exhausted and Alpine will move his chips to hold the pilot who looked so much.
