Franco Colapinto's F1 Future in Negotiation

News summary

Franco Colapinto, a 21-year-old Argentine driver, is at the center of intense negotiations as Red Bull considers replacing Sergio Perez for the 2025 Formula 1 season. Colapinto has garnered significant interest following impressive performances since joining Williams, including scoring points in Azerbaijan and Texas. Red Bull is prioritizing securing Colapinto's services, but will need to negotiate a hefty €20 million fee with Williams, who have already signed Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon for 2025. Despite the interest, former F1 driver Karun Chandhok believes a move to Red Bull could be premature for Colapinto, suggesting a potential seat at Red Bull's junior team VCARB would be more suitable. Discussions between Red Bull's Christian Horner and Williams' James Vowles are ongoing, with a decision expected prior to the season finale in Abu Dhabi. The situation remains fluid as multiple teams, including Alpine, are also vying for Colapinto's signature.
