Franco Colapinto has emerged as a potential candidate to replace Sergio Perez at Red Bull.
Former F1 driver Karun Chandhok has cautioned Franco Colapinto about the potential dangers of moving to Red Bull, suggesting that it could be detrimental to his career. Red Bull is considering Colapinto as a replacement for Sergio Perez due to the latter’s poor performances, despite Perez having a contract for next year. Red Bull would reportedly have to pay Williams $20 million to secure Colapinto, who has garnered praise in the F1 community. Colapinto faced challenges during the São Paulo Grand Prix, including crashing his car, but his speed and talent have not gone unnoticed. Chandhok believes that Colapinto may be a better fit for Red Bull’s junior team rather than joining the main team alongside Max Verstappen, as it could be too early in his career and potentially harmful.
