Franco Cola🎃pinto has a proposal which would see him drive for RB in 2025, it is claimed.

The Williams driver has hugely impressed sinc🅺e stepping in on a temporary basis, but knows he can’t stay with his current team next season be🌟cause they are welcoming Carlos Sainz.

Sainz, the outgoing Ferrari driver, is on po🍷le for the F1 Mexico City Grand꧑ Prix and is a major coup for Williams alongside Alex Albon.

But Colapinto’s 🐈good form since replacing Logan Sargeant has attracted admiration from elsewhere.

Red Bull have firme𒆙d up their interest,  rep🗹ort.

"The offer is the♔re, in Milton Keynes they can offer him a seat,” they report.

“But the 'card' is from Williams which 🍌has had him in its junior programme for two years andꦑ it is not certain that it is willing to sell him.”

Red Bull coul﷽d opt to put Colapinto into their sister team, at RB, while promo🔥ting Liam Lawson to the main team alongside Max Verstappen, and getting rid of Sergio Perez.

Colapinto told Sky Sports aওbout his future: “I am not really into it. My managers do an amazing job and I trust them.

“My j🉐ob 🐽is to drive the car quick enough, to turn the wheel.

🔯“They are doing a greaꦿt job. I am not focused on what is happening, I don’t want to put energy into it.

“I know there are n🌠o seats left, no space for me to go.

“I am trying to show that I deserve a place in Formula 1, t🌌hat I came to stay🐭.

“I hope to leave that impression.

“I am sure that in the future - 2026 0r👍🐼 2027 - I will be back.”

S♐ky Sports’ Karun Chandhok reacted to the rumours of a move to RB: “He’s done a great job.

“H♕e’s proved that he deserves to stay. It’s a shame that there isn’t a seat at Williamsಞ.

“The team want to help him stay in F1 but the𝓀y’ll want to keep him on a bungee-cord, not just let him go.

“Otꩲh🐟erwise they’ve invested in training him for someone else to get the benefit.

“The only way is for Williams to put him on a lead. But if you’re RB, are you keen on that? Hi🥀storically they’d want to own the contract.”
