This is how Colapinto fared in the Formula 1 races he competed in this year | OneFootball

The Argentine pilot Franco Colapinto will compete this weekend in the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix, which will be the ninth for the Alpine pilot so far this year.

This 2025 is proving to be a real nightmare for the Argentine, who has not yet been able to match, in terms of results, those he achieved in 2024 with Williams, a team with which he scored five points thanks to the 8th and 10th place achieved in the Azerbaijan and United States Grand Prix, respectively.

Colapinto, who replaced Australian Jack Doohan from the seventh race of the championship, could only achieve the thirteenth place as the best result in the Monaco and Canada GP.

In addition, he had major crashes in the qualifications of the Grand Prix of both Italy and Great Britain. In the latter, he could not compete in the race due to problems with the gearbox of his Alpine.

Another problem that the Pilar-born driver is having with his single-seater, which is one of the worst on the grid, is related to tire management, as every time he changes the compounds after a few laps he starts to lose a lot of race pace.

As if that were not enough, the support from the box is also lacking. The mechanics of the French team are known this season for the extremely slow stops that caused both Colapinto and his teammate at Alpine, the Frenchman Pierre Gasly, to lose a lot of time.

Nevertheless, these four weeks of break could have been good for Alpine to fine-tune some mechanical issues and face the final stretch of the year in the best possible way, with the aim of getting out of the bottom in the Constructors' table.
