Franco Colapinto: Alpine signs Argentinian from Williams as reserve driver for 2025 on multi-year deal | F1 news
Alpine has signed Williams’ Franco Colapinto to a multi-year deal that will see the Argentine start as the team’s reserve driver in 2025.
Colapinto drove the final nine rounds of the 2024 Formula 1 season for Williams after replacing Logan Sargeant, but the team has already signed Carlos Sainz to partner Alex Albon in 2025.
The 21-year-old will act as backup to Pierre Gasly and Jack Doohan, with the latter set to make his F1 debut in 2025.
“The BWT Alpine Formula One Team announces today that it has entered into an agreement with Williams Racing to secure the services of Franco Colapinto on a multi-year contract,” the team said in a statement on Thursday.
“The 21-year-old Argentinian driver will take on the role of test and reserve driver for the upcoming 2025 FIA Formula 1 World Championship, further adding to the existing pool of talent the team can call upon for driving services during the season.”
