Flavio Briatore DENIES Franco Colapinto deadline in bizarre contract U-turn
Alpine executive advisor Flavio Briatore has denied that Franco Colapinto will just be with the team for five races, despite initial speculation.
Colapinto has replaced Jack Doohan on the F1 grid and made his debut for Alpine at the Imola Grand Prix, but faced a challenging start.
Initially thought to be on a short-term contract, Briatore now suggests Colapinto could drive for Alpine indefinitely based on his performance.
The team has faced criticism for the handling of Doohan’s exit and other recent changes in leadership, but Briatore is focused on improving Alpine’s standings in the championship.
