Franco Colapinto is a professional racing driver competing in Formula 1 for Alpine, where he has started 38 times since 2024. The Argentine driver holds an FIA Platinum grade, the highest professional categorisation in international motorsport. His career spans ten seasons of indexed racing from 2016 to the present, with 144 starts across single-seater and prototype competition.[1]

Colapinto rose through the junior categories with MP Motorsport, taking four wins in Formula 3 and two apiece in Formula Renault Eurocup and Formula Regional European. He moved to Formula 2 in 2023 and scored a single victory there before stepping up to Formula 1 in 2024. His entry-level professional rating of 6,628 places him among the world's top 50 drivers on the Elo scale. Away from single-seaters, he raced LMP2 prototypes for G-Drive Racing in the 2021 European Le Mans Series and World Endurance Championship, finishing 23rd in WEC championship standings that year.[2]

Colapinto shares the Formula 1 grid with drivers of generational standing; he has finished ahead of Lando Norris twice and Max Verstappen once in races at that level. His regular competitors in single-seaters have included Gabriel Bortoleto, the 2023 Formula 3 and 2024 Formula 2 champion, and Isack Hadjar, an elite professional with multiple championships across those same series. Against both, Colapinto has proven closely matched. His development under MP Motorsport, which has produced Liam Lawson among other established professionals, positioned him to compete at this level.
