Franco Colapinto is expected to continue with the Alpine Formula 1 team beyond his initial five-race period. The Austrian Grand Prix marks the fifth race for Colapinto, who stepped in for Jack Doohan after a challenging start to the season in Miami in May. Colapinto, coming from Williams, was initially slated for a five-race trial alongside Pierre Gasly, but team leader Flavio Briatore has hinted at a longer-term stay. Despite some struggles adapting to the Alpine car, Colapinto is set to race at the British Grand Prix next. His performance is under scrutiny as part of Alpine’s evaluation for the 2026 changes, with recent progress noted, especially in qualifying in Montreal. Colapinto’s focus remains on continuous improvement and adapting to the car, with his familiarity with Silverstone providing a boost for the upcoming race. While his results have not surpassed his predecessor, the team seems committed to giving Colapinto time to prove himself, potentially aided by his strong commercial support from Argentina.
