Red Bull admit Franco Colapinto enquiry amid Carlos Sainz exit clause claim
The f𒆙utures of Francoꦡ Colapinto and Carlos Sainz are reportedly intertwined

Christian Horner has admitted enquiring about the availability of Francoꦐ Colapinto.
Williams driver Colapinto has caught the eye of teams up and down the Formula 1 paddock since replacing Logan Sargeant five racꦍes ago.
But the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2025 driver line-up is, in theory, complete meaning Colapinto has nowhere to drive next season - unless Red Bull opt for a big change.
"Colapinto is an interesting driver,” Red Bull boss Ch🐻ristian Horner is quoted by .
“For ever▨yone, he is surprisingly much better than Formula 2 suggested.
“I would be a bad▨ team boss if I didn't explore whether he was availab🎃le."
Red Bull are considering w🐠hether t🍃o ditch the under-performing Sergio Perez, who endured a shocker at his home grand prix in Mexico last weekend.
Liam Lawson could g🌌et a promotion from their RB sister team, opening a spot which Colapinto could fill.
Alpine have also been credited with an interest in C🃏olapinto after Flavio Briatore spotted h🅰is potential, AMUS claim.
Carlos Sainz exit clause?
Williams have signed Ferrari’s Car♎los Sainz, who won last weekend’s Mexico City Grand Prix, for 2025.
🐎Sainz and Alex ꦍAlbon represent an exciting driver duo for the midfield team.
But Auto Motor Und Sport report that Sainz has an exit clause in his Williams contract enabling him to move to Red Bull in 2026 if a vacancy aris💫es.
Max Verstappen’s long-term future has been questioned, coupled with the n🉐ew engine regulatiꦏons which will shake up F1 in 2026.
The alleged escape route in Sainz’s deal has a knock-on effect for Colapint📖o.
Although h🌄e has nowhere to go at Williams in 2025, they could ne⭕ed him in 2026 if they lose Sainz.
Maybe Colapinto could be ‘loaned’ to Red B๊ull for a year? Absolutely not, insists Helmut Marko.
“We want Colapinto completely or not at𓂃 all,” Marko told AMUS, shutting down any possibility that he could drive their car while remaining on a Williams contract.
