Formula 1: Alpine set for shock decision change on 2025 lineup?
As a seasoned gamer of F1’s behind-the-scenes drama, I must say that Franco Colapinto’s meteoric rise has been nothing short of electrifying! The Argentinian phenom has left quite an impression on the paddock with his consistent performances at Williams. The whispers about his potential moves to RB, Sauber, or even Alpine have kept us all guessing.
Franco Colapinto has left a significant impression on the Formula 1 scene, delivering impressive results ever since he stepped in for Logan Sargeant at Williams, starting from the Italian Grand Prix in Monza.
Multiple racing team leaders have shown interest in him due to his consistent performance, expressing curiosity about his readiness for the 2025 season. Although both seats at Williams are filled for the upcoming year (with Carlos Sainz Jr. and Alexander Albon from Ferrari joining), team principal James Vowles has stated that he will make every effort to secure a spot on the grid for the Argentinian driver.
It seems that a different team might be vying for Colapinto’s signing instead of RB or Sauber, as earlier speculation suggested.
Flavio Briatore, an advisor to Alpine, supports the idea of recruiting a 21-year-old instead of Jack Doohan, who was signed by Alpine as reserve driver in place of Esteban Ocon, who is leaving for Haas, and will partner Pierre Gasly next season.
As a gamer, I’d say: I didn’t confirm or debunk those rumors, old Bernie Ecclestone just hinted that anything might happen in this sport until the cash is secured. His mysterious remarks could imply there’s some secret chatter going on.
Possible, but not probable
Despite Doohan having agreed to join Alpine as a rookie driver for the upcoming season, there’s still some uncertainty about whether the team might renege on the contract.
Because the exact details of the agreement aren’t publicly disclosed, any change (whether it happens or not) would serve as an indication to fans about what’s really going on.
If the Australian driver is compelled to vacate his seat for 2025, it’s likely that fans wouldn’t find this unexpected, considering the events surrounding Oscar Piastri a few years back. The team leadership has shown weakness in certain areas, which may be the reason behind their current position.
It’s thrilling to speculate about Colapinto’s future in Formula 1. However, it’s yet to be determined which team will sign him. There’s a strong desire for him to race in 2025, but if that doesn’t happen, he’ll undoubtedly become a permanent driver in Formula 1 at some point in the future.
