F1 News: Alpine enter the race for Franco Colapinto…..
Alpine has reportedly entered the race to sign Franco Colapinto, the talented young Argentine driver currently competing in the Formula 2 championship. Colapinto has impressed many with his performances in F2, and his potential has attracted the attention of top Formula 1 teams.
Alpine, who have been focused on developing young talent through their academy, are said to be considering Colapinto as a future prospect for their F1 team. The move follows the French team’s broader strategy of nurturing and promoting emerging drivers, with Colapinto potentially being part of their long-term plan.
Colapinto’s name had already been linked to other teams, but Alpine’s growing interest suggests they are serious about adding the 19-year-old to their development program, possibly in the near future as a test or reserve driver, or even in a race seat if the opportunity arises.
The dynamic in the F1 driver market is fluid, and the competition for talented drivers like Colapinto is fierce, but Alpine’s involvement signals their intent to secure top-tier prospects.
