There are only three weekends left before the end of the season. Formula 1 and with the World Drivers’ Championship all but on the verge of being doomed, one of the debates around the paddock is what will happen to Franco Colapinto.
In principle, the grid for 2025 is already closed, but the seat that is most likely to be vacated is that of “Checo” Pérez.
The Mexican’s performance has been very poor in recent months of competition and since Milton Keynes They seem to have had enough of waiting for a resurrection of the Aztecs.
His contract termination would open a door for Colapinto, who according to his representative will continue to race 100% next season.
In an interview with ‘El Destape’, the agent was asked how many chances, from one to ten, the Argentinian has of continuing in the ‘Gran Circo’.
“Twenty”he replied without hesitation, making it clear that Franco is closer to staying than leaving.
This scenario would open up a possibility desired by Carlos Sainzwho has already signed his contract with Williams but this could include some exit clauses.
According to ‘Car and driver’, those of Grove “they would ask for indefinite financial compensation” to those of energy drinks to free Sainz and thus preserve Colapinto.
In this way, the Argentinian would stay at Williams, Sainz would go to Red Bull and with Lawson and Tsunoda to RB, “Checo” Pérez would find himself without a seat.
