Doubts grow over Franco Colapinto as Ted Kravitz suggests surprise Alpine replacement
Ted Kravitz has suggested possible replacements for Franco Colapinto due to uncertainties surrounding his F1 future at Alpine. Colapinto faced issues during the British Grand Prix, leading to disappointment in his performance. Despite showing promise earlier in the season, Colapinto struggled to maintain consistency. Valtteri Bottas is among the drivers Alpine is considering, given his status as Mercedes’ reserve driver. With Alpine transitioning to Mercedes power units next year, it could attract top talent despite current challenges. Potential replacements, such as Bottas, Felipe Drugovich, or Paul Aron, are being considered as alternatives to Colapinto in the Alpine F1 team.
