Franco Colapinto has secured his continuity with Alpine for the 2027 Formula 1 season. The Argentine will remain as Pierre Gasly’s teammate, marking his third year with the French team.
This renewal represents an important step for Colapinto, who finished the 2026 season with a total of 19 points, a considerable performance given his previous trajectory. After a complicated start to his career, where he took Jack Doohan’s place, the driver has managed to improve his performances in a car that has shown significant performance gains.
The 23-year-old driver achieved his best result in Montreal, finishing in sixth position, and currently sits in twelfth place in the overall drivers’ standings after 12 races this season.
Colapinto expressed his satisfaction with continuing with Alpine: ‘I am very happy to stay with this team. We have made great progress compared to last year, and I am grateful to my team for the trust placed in me.’
Flavio Briatore, the team’s executive, highlighted the importance of consistency in their driver lineup: ‘We have seen how Franco has evolved and become a great driver. I hope that both he and Gasly continue to perform at a high level.’
