168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Colapinto's manager has shed light on her negotiations with Alpine and a “persistent” Flavio Briatore following the Argentine’s team move ahead of t🌞he 2025 F1 season.

Last week, Colapinto was announc𒈔ed as Alpine’s reserve and♚ test driver for the upcoming campaign.

However, it is highly expected that Colapinto will make the step up to a full-time drive alongside Pierre Gasly at some stage, but that depends on the form of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan.

Colapinto’s starring performances for Williams as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant’s mid-season replacement 🍸attracted interest from Alpine and Red Bullꦜ.

A poo📖r end to the year, which was curtailed by a number of incidents, combined with a reported hefty release clause, meant that interest in Colapinto subsided𒁃.

But after intense negotiations with Alpine, a deal was a🌜greed to bring Colapinto to Enstone as their test an🌃d reserve driver.

Speaking to Argentinian publication , Maria Catarineu, Commercial Director at Bullet Sports Management, has revealed Briatore’s interest🎉 in Colapinto was “very intense.”

“It took a long time because negotiations are sometimes complex, as in this case. But Flavio was always very persist🐠ent and in the last few weeks he was very intense,” she said.

“The agreement came about b🔥ecause both parties got what they wanted – Flavio was able to sign Franco and [Williams boss] James [Vowles] was able to give him the chance to race, because at Williams their regular drivers are on long-term contracts.𒀰”

She added: “Briatore has seen Franco since he made his F1 de♚but. The day we first chatted he said: ‘I⛄’ve seen talent and I want him.’

“Heౠ followed all the races closely and how he evolved as an F1 driver in the nine Grands Prix he was able ꦯto race.”

Colapinto has five-year Alpine deal

Catarineu also revealed that Colapinto’s Alpine deal is for five years – an incredibly long deaꦗl for a driver that has just nine𓄧 races to his name.

“Wil🅰liams gave Franco to Alpine for five years,” she explained.

“I understand that, if another tea𓆉m appears interested in Franco, within that period, I🐼 guess it would be a negotiation between Alpine and the other team.”

Colapinto’s chances of a promotion in ജplace﷽ of Doohan appear inevitable.

While Alpine have confirmed Doohan will remain in the car for the start of the season, the Australi✤an will be under immense pressure inꦕternally.

Catarineu refused to be drawn in on whether 🐭Colapinto will get the opportunity to drive🐽 with Alpine as a full-time driver.

“I’m not going to say what ജI feel,” she concluded.
