Nielsen: Colapinto will stay if he performs well.

      Franco Colapinto does not have a contract for the next season, and his future with the team is still uncertain. Alpine F1 Managing Director Steve Nielsen stated that everything depends on the driver's results…

      Steve Nielsen: "Franco is gradually improving; he is one of those who doesn't pick up speed right away. But he is getting better.

      This year, Franco has shown good results several times. He performed well in Miami, in China. He is progressing. I think he deserves a place in the team. When the time comes, we will make a decision. If he is good enough, he will stay; if not, we will find another option.

      Franco has become much more stable, especially in races, compared to what it was before. Sometimes his results match Pierre's level. He couldn't do that last year, but we had such a bad car that it was difficult to make any assessments. But this year he has already had several moments where he performed at the same level as Gasly – it was nice to see."
