Colapinto is not worried about the possible dismissal from Alpine.
In six seasons with Alpine, Franco Colapinto has only once qualified higher than his teammate Pierre Gasli, has broken the car many times, and has not scored a single point. All of this has led to rumors that at the next race in Belgium, another driver will take over the Argentine's seat.
Among the options mentioned by the press are Valtteri Bottas, Sergio Perez, and even Jack Duen, who was replaced by Colapinto after the Miami race. However, Franco himself is not particularly bothered by such conversations.
"I'm not worried about these kinds of talks," Franco Colapinto told Racingnews365. "Rumors are always around, but I just have to keep working and try to help the team make the car better.
At Silverstone, we managed to take some good steps forward. But, of course, the result is still not what we want at all."
