Franco Colapinto is staying in F1 with confirmation he’ll partner Gasly at Alpine for 2027
Alpine has confirmed that Argentine driver Franco Colapinto will partner with Pierre Gasly for the 2027 Formula 1 season. Colapinto, who had his most successful season yet in 2025, expressed his happiness and satisfaction with the team. He mentioned that the team has made significant progress this year compared to the previous one.
Colapinto currently sits 12th in the championship, with a career-best sixth-place finish at the Canadian Grand Prix in May. However, his total points earned in 2025 were less than half of Gasly's 44. This is Colapinto's first full season in F1, after he made his debut as a mid-season replacement for Logan Sargeant at Williams in 2024.
He joined Alpine after six races in 2025, replacing Jack Doohan. Recently, Colapinto received two penalties at the Dutch Grand Prix, which led to a social media backlash. The FIA emphasized the need to avoid "harassment" of the race stewards who decide on penalties.
