00:00Franco Colapinto signs for Alpine and it's a big transfer for the future of the French team
00:05At the age of 21, Franco Colapinto joins Alpine as a reserve driver, but that's only in the beginning
00:11And yes, because Jack Dwan, the driver for this season 2025, only has a 5 Grand Prix contract
00:18So if Alpine doesn't think he's good enough after those 5 Grand Prix, the Australian will have to give up his place
00:23And even if Jack Dwan is good enough, he'll leave anyway
00:25Why ? Because, simply, Franco Colapinto
00:28To explain, Alpine bought the Argentine from Williams to make him sign a multi-annual contract
00:33Colapinto is a crucial element for Alpine's future in F1, with the contribution of many very lucrative sponsors
00:39Alpine needs Franco Colapinto, because the Curies are going through a serious period of reduction of its staff and costs
00:45Franco Colapinto's commercial interest in South America is very important
00:49And that even surprised Williams when she promoted him instead of Logan Sargent
00:53To give you an example, in just 5 races, Franco Colapinto brought to Williams around 10 million dollars
01:00It's just huge
01:01With the Argentine's signature in 2025 and over several years, Alpine will be able to raise a lot of money
01:06But a LOT of money
01:08And in terms of driver, Franco Colapinto was a revelation in 2024 when Williams launched him
01:13Talented, he replaced Logan Sargent in the middle of the season
01:17And he scored points from his 2nd Grand Prix, and he showed himself at the level of his teammate, Alexander Albon
01:22Flavio Briatore and Alpine seized the huge marketing and commercial opportunity to get back the talented Franco Colapinto
