Williams boss James Vowles has revealed it is in talks with rival F1 teams regarding Franco Colapinto amid a visit from Red Bull’s Christian Horner.
Colapinto has impressed at Williams with two points finishes in five races but won’t secure a permanent seat for 2025, as Williams plans to have Sainz partnering Albon. However, there’s a potential opening at Sauber or even with Red Bull, where Colapinto might replace struggling Perez. Talks are ongoing, but no advanced negotiations for a release have occurred yet, according to Vowles. Horner’s visit to Williams in Brazil was seemingly for coffee sampling, casting doubt on a potential deal involving Colapinto being on loan. Vowles hopes to reach a decision on Colapinto’s future before the season finale in Abu Dhabi in December, navigating discussions with multiple teams.
