The F1 market continues with many unknowns. On the one hand, there is the question of Sauber’s seat next to Hülkenberg for 2025which the young man sounded Gabriel Bortoleto or Kevin Magnussen, as well as Bottas. And on the other hand, there is ‘RB’, with Liam Lawson on trial until the end of the season, and there is even speculation about the possibility of ‘Checo’ losing his Red Bull wheel due to his results this year.
Franc Colapinto is sounding strong to get one of those two seats under the Red Bull umbrella and it is rumored that those from Milton Keynes have already presented Williams for his signing.
however, it all depends on Williams. Franco Colapinto was clear about this in the press conference for the Brazilian F1 GP. And by his side, Lewis Hamilton, wanted to give advice to the 21-year-old driver, making it clear that he needs to “push” and “make sure” that his managers get him a wheel in F1 in 2025, something Hamilton considers to be something The young driver “deserved” the performance that Colapinto showed in his first 5 F1 races.
“He’s done an unbelievable job. Called up at the last minute and thrown into the deep end of the pool in this sport… If we are lucky enough to get into this sport, most drivers have many days of trials and tribulations, like Liam. (Lawson, in RB)with a 20 day trial (before replacing Ricciardo at the end of the season). And this man here (looks at Franco, sits next to him) He doesn’t have that yet. “He got into the car and did a great job.”argument.
“I love seeing young talents getting that chance to shine. In Baku we had a good battle with him, tough but fair, and he deserves to be in F1. I think there is a seat available and he said he doesn’t have one but my advice is to push, try to do everything you can. “You have to focus every weekend on doing your job and you have to make sure that the people around you can guarantee you a seat for next year.”he finished.
Verstappen: “Coapinto deserves a seat”
Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunodathe drivers he will be with in a structure in 2025, either ‘RB’ (more likely) or Red Bull, also determine Colapinto’s situation.
“It’s hard to answer because he still has a contract with Williams and is doing a great job. I think Williams is wondering what to do with Franco now. But teams should be more open to bringing in new, young talent and trusting them. AND “Now you find yourself in a situation where you have a junior Williams driver who probably has to leave, when they could put him in his own car.”Verstappen said.
“It’s complicated. Whatever they decide or what their managers decide… well, I think he does deserve a seat in F1 with what he shows, but it’s hard to find a seat.”added the Dutchman.
For his part, Yuki Tsunoda has applied to take the wheel of ‘Checo’ in 2025, ensuring that he is “ready to go to Red Bull” although acknowledging that he must improve in the final races of the season. And when asked about Colapinto, he believes it’s normal for teams like Red Bull or ‘RB’ to consider him: “He’s doing well and I don’t know much about these issues. If they don’t Consider- he thinks it’s a surprise because he’s doing well and at the moment he doesn’t have a seat for 2025. If he’s fast, I’d like to think that all the teams that have a free seat will consider him, ” more. the Japanese from ‘RB’.
