Colapinto's sponsor had to make excuses

      Rumors that Jack Duane will compete for Alpine only at the beginning of the season, and then will give up the cockpit to Franco Colapinto, who is supported by Flavio Briatore, have been circulating since the beginning of the season. There is little doubt that this will happen, the only question is when exactly Franco will get behind the wheel.

      A curious story happened the other day in the news release of the Argentine TV channel A24, where one of the sponsors of the racer Horacio Marin, director of the oil and gas company YPF, was invited. Officially, he did not provide any information, but during the commercial break they forgot to turn off his microphone, and he said "in Imola", which was broadcast live.

      Now Marin has to justify himself. On the air of another Argentine TV channel, LN+, he stated that he didn't really know anything.…

      Horacio Marin: "At that moment, I was talking about my hope that he would get behind the wheel at Imola, and if that happens, he will call me.

      I don't have that information. I am the director of YPF, not the manager of Colapinto. We have a great relationship, but I don't know everything."
