    Why Colapinto is still fighting against a serious Alpine weakness, and for his F1 future

    Why Colapinto is still fighting against a serious Alpine weakness, and for his F1 future

    Franco Colapinto Faces Challenges at Alpine as F1 Future Hangs in the Balance

    Franco Colapinto remains resolute in his quest to improve underwhelming performances with Alpine amid ongoing speculation about his future. Struggling with a difficult 2025 Formula 1 car, the young Argentinian driver has yet to score points after six race weekends, raising questions about his longevity in the team.

    Why Colapinto is Still Fighting Against a Serious Alpine Weakness

    Despite a challenging season filled with incidents and difficulties acclimating to the A525, Colapinto’s persistence remains commendable. Following the departure of his predecessor, Jack Doohan, the Argentinian has wrestled with the car’s unpredictable handling and limited performance window, putting his Formula 1 career at a critical juncture.

    The Transition from Doohan to Colapinto

    Alpine’s switch from Jack Doohan to Colapinto was intended to inject fresh energy into the team; however, both drivers have faltered in extracting performance from the challenging vehicle. Colapinto’s best finish has been 13th, while qualifying performance has been generally lackluster, save for a notable 12th in Canada where he briefly bested teammate Pierre Gasly.

    Struggles with the A525

    Both Colapinto and Gasly have expressed frustration regarding the car’s handling characteristics. Gasly’s seventh-place finish in Bahrain was an early optimism, quickly overshadowed by ongoing difficulties for the team. The A525’s erratic behavior and apparent power unit limitations contribute to Alpine’s downward trajectory in the Constructors’ Championship.

    Alpine’s Midfield Struggles

    In the battle for midfield dominance, Alpine currently sits at the bottom with just 19 points, trailing behind competitors like Williams and Sauber. The 2025 season has seen Alpine outdeveloped by rivals such as Aston Martin and Haas, making recovery an uphill battle.

    Colapinto’s Search for Confidence

    As Colapinto grapples with a steep learning curve, confidence remains elusive. “We need to try to make the car a bit more predictable,” he stated, emphasizing the critical need for improvement. His struggles exacerbate the team’s issues, demonstrating the challenges faced by rookie drivers in adapting to high-pressure scenarios.

    A Breathing Space?

    Reports suggesting Colapinto’s continued presence in the 2025 seat is more nuanced than originally believed. While he operates on a race-by-race basis, his commercial backing from Argentina and the team’s long-term focus on 2026 offer him a glimmer of hope compared to fellow driver Paul Aron, who could also be cycled in.

    Looking Ahead

    With Alpine prioritizing the 2026 season, both Gasly and Colapinto understand the importance of fostering better car performance while working on individual adaptability. As Gasly noted, “We didn’t develop that car as much as some other teams might have done, so it put us a bit on the back foot.”

    Conclusion: Colapinto’s Path Forward

    Colapinto acknowledges that achieving success will require time and experience, stating, “It’s little by little but it’s still coming, that performance.” With ongoing challenges in the cockpit, the future remains uncertain; however, both driver and team are committed to combating adversity in pursuit of a better performance as they navigate the complex world of Formula 1.
