On Monday morning what all the Argentines were waiting for was confirmed: Franco Colapinto will participate in a free practice of Formula 1. He will do it this weekend at Silverstone with one of the Williams cars. You can name various reasons why the young pilot got this opportunity, but the main one is only one: his excellent performance in Formula 2.
The news comes after a very good weekend for Colapinto. The opening category of F1 is in Austria and The Argentine dominated the track finishing second in Sunday’s finals. In addition, he made the fastest lap, adding 19 very important points for the championship.
Williams Academy member He is fourth in the drivers’ ranking. He currently has 75 units and is tied with Zane Maloney. Paul Aron, Isack Hadjar and Gabriel Bortoleto are just ahead of him. One thing to consider is the internal competition with his MP Motorsport teammate, Dennis Hauger, who is seventh with 65 points.
In addition to 19 from the final day, Colapinto’s 75 points came from sixth place in Bahrain, fourth position in the Australian Sprint, the Sprint victory and fifth place in the Imola racefifth place in the Monaco Sprint and second place on Sunday in Spain. It should be remembered that at the beginning of the season there were some exceptions and abandonments for the Argentine, so the trend is upward.

Another driver to watch out for is Carlos Sainz. The Spaniard has no place at Ferrari and some media have linked him to Williams. Despite this, he is expected to sign with Audi.
