The Argentine avoided focusing on his continuity, although he made it clear that he is committed to the French team to continue gaining experience in 2026
Despite the rumors about his continuity, everything indicates that the Argentine will remain as Alpine's main driver in 2026, although the formal renewal has not yet been announced. His performance in recent competitions and his quick adaptation to F1 keep him as one of the great promises of international motorsport.
When Colapinto will race again
After Singapore, Formula 1 will return to action next weekend with the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. In last season with Williams, Colapinto finished tenth and scored one point, the last to date for the Argentine in the top category.
In the lead-up to the United States Grand Prix, Franco Colapintowas one of the three drivers chosen by Formula 1 to participate in the traditional press conference. The Argentine, who is living his first full season in the top category, replied with maturity and composure when he was asked about his future and the possibility of continuing in 2026.
"In order for me to be confirmed for 2026, I have to keep working and growing," Colapinto said, although he immediately shifted the focus to the collective work within the team. "We're all pushing together and motivation is high. I'm sure next year it will be important to maintain this attitude, and I trust that we'll have a fast car," added the Alpine driver.
The Buenos Aires native also referred to the progress the team has shown in recent races, where he managed to establish himself and compete on equal terms with his teammate Pierre Gasly. "Since the summer break until today, I have found some consistency with the car, which was very unpredictable for me," he acknowledged.
Colapinto de a poco va siendo más consistente con el A525
Although he highlighted the improvements of the single-seater, Colapinto was realistic in admitting that there is still much to be done: "We've taken a step forward, but we know we're not at the level we'd like. We're trying to understand our problems, but we arrive at places where we could have certain advantages and we're ready to seize the opportunities."
