Colapinto expects to perform better in 2026.

      Franco Colapinto is having a difficult season – the Argentine driver replaced Jack Duen behind the wheel of the Alpine at the May round in Imola, but he still hasn't scored any points. In Qatar Franco admitted that he is eagerly awaiting 2026.

      "I'm really looking forward to 2026," Franco Colapinto told the press in Qatar. "I hope to have a full year that will start with pre-season testing, and that I will be working with the car from the very beginning. That should help, and it will be radically different from this year's situation.

      I got behind the wheel in the middle of the season, knowing little. Moreover, I never really managed to sort out some things that drivers usually figure out at the start of the year. I believe it will help me a lot next year that I'll be able to get to work from the very beginning."
