Franco Colapinto's agent, Maria Catarineu, has shared an update about the Argentinian's F1 future and claims that the driver is still associated with Williams and that there is an effort to find a place for him in 2025. Colapinto is a name that the F1 paddock was not aware of this season before he made his debut. He was racing in Formula 2, and while his results were good, they didn't stand out and make people take notice of what he was doing.
With that being said, Williams team principal James Vowles had discovered the Argentinian and backed him from the beginning. The driver got the opportunity to replace Logan Sargeant in the 2024 mid-season and had 8 races to make an impression. The driver has since then gone on to make an immediate impression on everyone with his performances in F1, especially compared to his teammate Alex Albon.
Franco Colapinto does not have a drive for 2025, as he was only brought in as a makeshift replacement for Logan Sargeant this season, with Carlos Sainz already signed to take over from the American in 2025. What this also means is that despite the level of performance that Colapinto has shown, he might not be on the grid next season. There are, however, reports that potential suitors are circling. Red Bull had dropped its hat in the ring, and so did Audi, and recent reports suggest that even Alpine has done this.
