Franco Colapinto is back in Formula 1. Early Wednesday morning, F1, Alpine, and the driver from Pilar made the news official about the Argentine's return to the top category of motorsport.
"Franco Colapinto will race at least the next five races for Alpine in place of Jack Doohan," posted the official account of the "Maximum," specifying the period set by the team for the Argentine.
From the Anglo-French team, which trusted the native of Pilar for this 2025 season, they also shared the announcement with a "Let's go Franco!" accompanied by the Argentine flag.
Colapinto himself didn't miss the opportunity to share his joy on social media. With a nod to Batman style, he posted an image of car No. 43 over a city, greeting with a "good morning" and celebrating his return.
"The wait was long! HAPPY! we're back," Colapinto wrote on his digital platforms.
The debut of the Pilar native as a main driver will take place at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, at the Imola circuit, during the weekend of May 18. There, the Argentine has already collected two victories in formative categories.
