Danner: The main advantage of Colapinto is dollars.

      At the start of the season, Alpine gave Jack Duhen five Grand Prix opportunities to demonstrate his potential, then replaced him with Franco Colapinto, who was also initially given five Grand Prix, but team principal Flavio Briatore later said he would give him more time. Franco couldn't achieve more than Jack but continues to race. Former Formula 1 driver and expert Christian Danner believes it all comes down to the budget that the Argentine brings to the team. Christian Danner: "Colapinto has a huge advantage, and that advantage is in dollars. He's connected to big money and the potential return of the Argentine Grand Prix to the calendar. The sporting aspect has nothing to do with it. Honestly, I preferred Duhen, who, let's say, the team didn't welcome very warmly. It hasn't been easy for him at Alpine."
