Franco Colapinto was racing in 2025 once again. The Argentine driver did not have seat for the 2025 F1 season. However, he was secured by Alpine F1 as their reserve driver for 2025. Colapinto got his moment to shine one month. He was subbed for an underperforming Jack Doohan. Colapinto took the wheel of Alpine from the Imola GP. He was set to drive on a five-race contract.<\/p>
Last time Colapinto made a mid-season debut, he was able to turn many heads with his performance at Williams F1. However, Franco Colapinto could not bring back the same magic in the 2025 season with Alpine F1. To make matter worse, he was facing heavy criticism by the media. Earlier on Flavio Briatore came forward in his defence to put down the claims by media<\/a>. It seems like his efforts have been rewarded after his initial stint at Alpine.<\/p> Franco Colapinto’s first five races with Alpine were difficult and unstable to say none the least. He is yet to score to a point for the team in his five race stint. Colapinto is steadily improving his results as the weekends progress. He managed to bring P12 during the Candian Grand Prix qualifying and narrowly missed out on points. Colapinto looked steady during the Austrian Grand Prix weekend once again. However, he lagged behind during the race finishing P13.<\/p>Alpine Intend to Race with Franco Colapinto in the 2025 Season<\/h2>
