About this episode
The numbers are starting to say that Franco Colapinto deserves another go in 2026.

Franco Colapinto replaced Jack Doohan and sits last in the standings of active drivers, yet his head-to-head with Pierre Gasly tells a different story. Tighter than it was between Gasly and Doohan and it’s coming inside a chaotic Alpine setup which is only now starting to regain some stability.
There are reasons to maintain Colapinto alongside the Frenchman, including his Mercedes experience from the Williams program that fit with Alpine’s 2026 plans. With Alpine short on clear alternatives and Franco often near Gasly on raw pace, there’s a strong case to keep him.
