Franco Colapinto spoke ahead of the Australian Grand Prix and expressed his excitement for the start of the 2026 Formula 1 season. The Alpine driver highlighted the work done in the preseason and assured that he arrives with better tools than last year.

“This will be my third season in Formula 1, but it's the first time I prepare with preseason tests and compete in the first Grand Prix of the year. I'm really looking forward to hitting the track in Melbourne,” he stated on the team's official site.

Colapinto emphasized that the tests in Barcelona and Bahrain allowed them to gather key data and work intensively in the simulator in Enstone. He also recalled that he has already competed in Australia in F2 and F3 and that the circuit represents a challenge for the new cars.

The Argentine is confident that the new car will allow him to fight in the middle of the pack. The official activity will begin on Thursday with the first free practice, and the race will take place on Sunday.
