Franco Colapinto’s camp reveal why he missed out on potential Red Bull F1 move..
According to Colapinto’s representatives, the primary factor behind the missed opportunity was timing. The 20-year-old driver was reportedly in talks with Red Bull earlier but was unable to secure a spot due to the team’s tight driver development structure and the fact that several other contenders were already in the pipeline.
Colapinto’s camp emphasized that while he was not able to make the jump to Formula 1 with Red Bull, the experience of being part of the team’s driver development program had been valuable. Despite the setback, the young driver remains focused on his career, with plans to continue impressing in other series, including his efforts in the Formula 2 championship.
The Red Bull team, known for its commitment to nurturing future F1 talent, currently has a well-established driver line-up. With Colapinto’s camp making clear that future opportunities remain on the horizon, the Argentine’s progression through the motorsport ranks will be closely watched.
