Alpine has officially confirmed that Franco Colapinto will remain with the team for the 2027 Formula 1 season. This decision ends months of speculation regarding the Argentine driver's future.

Thursday's announcement confirms that the French squad has opted for stability heading into 2027. Colapinto will continue to partner Pierre Gasly, who is already under a long-term contract that keeps him at Alpine until at least the end of 2028.

Strategic Move by Alpine

Retaining Colapinto signals Alpine's full confidence in the young driver's potential. Since joining, Colapinto has shown consistent growth despite the high-pressure environment of Formula 1.

The move signals Alpine's serious intent to compete in the midfield and aim for the top.

Impact on the Grid

The contract confirmation also impacts the driver market. Other teams that were linked with the Argentine driver must now look for alternatives. For Alpine, this decision brings much-needed stability after several turbulent seasons.

Furthermore, the continued partnership between Gasly and Colapinto is expected to accelerate the team's adaptation to the new technical regulations set to take effect in 2027. With existing experience and chemistry, both drivers are expected to be the backbone of Alpine's resurgence.
