Franco Colapinto is preparing for a new opportunity in the 2025 season of Formula 1. After a difficult weekend in Belgium, the Argentine driver arrives at the Hungarian Grand Prix with renewed optimism and the goal of reversing a streak of adverse results with the Alpine team.
"We had a complicated weekend at Spa-Francorchamps, although we feel we've made progress. It's as if we frequently end up on the wrong side due to tiny details, but I'm convinced the trend will eventually change," said Colapinto, who finished 19th last Sunday after struggling with slick tires in a race marked by changing weather conditions.
Regarding the demanding sprint format, the Argentine acknowledged the difficulties: "Sprint weekends are always a challenge because it's important to be competitive right away. The car lacked grip in the first free practice sessions, so we tried to maximize everything during the Sprint Qualifying".
Despite not scoring points at Spa, Colapinto valued the collective effort: "We weren't well positioned to score points, but I was happy for Pierre (Gasly) and the team that at least they managed to get one by finishing tenth".
