Ahead of this weekend’s Formula One Grand Prix in the Netherlands, it’s ‘Double Dutch’ as to how the Argentinian still occupies a seat.
Ahead of this weekend’s Formula One Grand Prix in the Netherlands, there is uncertainty surrounding Franco Colapinto’s future with Alpine Racing.
After eight races, the 22-year-old Argentine has yet to score a point and has struggled to match the performance of his teammate Pierre Gasly.
Despite rumors of a possible change, Flavio Briatore, Alpine’s team principal, has given no indication of replacing Colapinto in the near future.
Colapinto’s management is reportedly exploring opportunities in IndyCar and the World Endurance Championship if his stint with Alpine comes to an end.
With Colapinto’s Formula One career hanging in the balance, many are questioning Briatore’s persistence in sticking with a driver who has not met expectations on the track.
As speculation continues, the possibility of Jack Doohan returning to the team has been suggested as a way to shake up Alpine’s lineup and potentially improve performance.
