Franco Colapinto, currently driving for Williams, has made a strong impression in Formula 1, notably finishing P8 in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix during his second race. With Carlos Sainz set to join Williams for the 2025 season, Colapinto's future at the team is uncertain, prompting discussions about a potential move to Audi-owned Sauber, which has a free seat available. Williams team principal James Vowles expressed his support for Colapinto, believing he deserves a spot in F1 and advocating for negotiations with Sauber. Veteran journalist Roger Benoit has also suggested that Colapinto should be considered for a seat at Sauber, particularly given the lackluster performance of current driver Valtteri Bottas. As the 21-year-old aims to secure a future in F1, he remains focused on showcasing his capabilities during the remainder of the current season. Meanwhile, Audi is reportedly interested in nurturing young talent, positioning Colapinto as a strong candidate alongside fellow rookie Gabriel Bortoleto for the 2025 seat.
