Franco Colapinto, a 21 -year -old jewel in Argentina, is making the world boil the formula 1! With the brilliant performance in the Alpine simulation machine, it made engineers and fans could not stand still. The virtual races of Colapinto are not only fast but also surprisingly precise, breaking all internal records and put it in the center of attention. It is rumored that Alpine, a famous Estone racing team, decided to give him an official race in the 2025 season, a dramatic turning point for the career of this young pilot.
Just joining Alpine as a reserve earlier this year, Colapint quickly demonstrated its value. During the test sessions in Barcelona with the A525, he beat his teammate Jack Doohan with a distance of two to ten seconds per second, an incredible number in the world of F1, where for thousands of seconds they were valuable. “Franco is very good,” said technical director David Sánchez de Alpine. “Bring valuable data from the simulation machine, helping us optimize the car in real time.” These contributions helped Alpine achieve significant progress, such as fourth place in Pierre Gasly’s initial network in Bahrain.
The pressure is weighing Jack Doohan, the current official corridor, who has not been able to meet the expectations of a series of expensive errors and accidents. In contrast, Colapinto, with the experience of nine races with Williams by 2024, shows maturity and formidable speed. Once he scored right in the second appearance in Azerbaiyan, a rare miracle for a rookie. Flavio Briatore, executive advisor to Alpine, who behind the agreement to take Collapint to the team, did not hesitate to trust him. “Franco is one of the best young talents,” said Brater once.
Argentina’s fans are flooded with emotion, waiting for the moment when Colapinto stepped on the podium with a blue and white flag. Their social media publications are always storms, from traditional couple images to videos that show business skills in the simulation machine. Although Alpine has not officially confirmed, the internal source revealed that the race in Icola in May could be where Colapinto was launched as an official pilot. With the explosive talent and support of the main sponsors, Collapint is not only the hope of Alpine but also the new Formula 1 flame. Hopefully and let’s see how he will continue writing this magical story!
