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

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

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

Colapinto, who replaced Australian Jack Doohan from the seventh date of the championship, could only achieve a best result of 13th place in the Monaco and Canada GPs.

Additionally, he was involved in strong crashes during qualifying for the Grand Prix in both Italy and Great Britain. In the latter, he was also unable to compete in the race due to problems with the gearbox of his Alpine.

Another problem the driver from Pilarense 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 compounds, he starts to lose a lot of pace in the race after a few laps.

As if this were not enough, the team is not supporting him from the box. The mechanics of the French team have been characterized this season by extremely slow pit stops that have caused both Colapinto and his teammate at Alpine, Frenchman Pierre Gasly, to lose a lot of time.

However, these four weeks of hiatus may have been beneficial for Alpine to fine-tune some mechanical issues and face the final stretch of the year in the best possible way, with the goal of getting out of the bottom in the Constructors' standings.
