The Argentinean pilot Franco Kolapint will play this weekend Grand Prix -with Britain Formula 1.
Activity in the mythical highway Silverstone began this Friday at 8:30, with free practice 1. Kolapinto completed the first essay for the 16th position, with an advantage of 0.246 seconds over Gasly, which finished 19 °.
Then, in the second free practice, Argentina had the worst performance: it was in the last position (20 °), and his teammate two positions higher.
On Saturday, meanwhile, it began with the third training, where Kolapinto ended 18 °. From 11, the classification will be started to install a race of the race.
This Grand Prix, which corresponds to the twelfth date of the championship, will be the sixth of the year for Kolapinto, which suffers from the Alpine this season, which does not give answers.
Its best result in 2025 was the thirteenth place obtained both in Monaco GP and Canada, while in Spain and Austria it ended 15 °, and in Italy 16 °.
Despite his good performances in the latest classifications, where he could advance in the second quarter both in Canada and in Austria, Kolapinto suffers a lot from the lack of effectiveness of his alpine in the race and can never approach the area of glasses.
Nevertheless, the Argentine will arrive with updated hopes this weekend in Silverstone, a track that knows very well and in which even a pilot in Formula 1 over the last year, when he played free practices 1 with Williams, his former team.
He even knows what it means to win there, since in 2023 he won the GP GP race in the UK when he fought for MP Motorsport. During this season, he also won the Saturday race in GP in Italy, in Monz, ending the year in fourth place in the championship.
As for the struggle for the title, the Australian Oscar Piasta from McLaren arrives as a leader with 216 points after the second place received in the GP of Austria. Nevertheless, he should not trust him, since his teammate, the British Lando Norris, comes from the victory in the Austrian lands and reduces the distance to 15 units.
The last winner of the GP of Great Britain was the British Lewis Hamilton, who at that time fled to Mercedes, although this year he will not be easy, since he could not even stand on the podium aboard his Ferrari.
