Williams have indicated that168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Franco Colapinto could return to the team despite signing for F1 rivals Alpine.

After impressing during a surprise nine-race stint with Williams last season, Colapinto was snapped up by Alpine to add to their reserve driver roster amid mounting doubts surrounding 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan’s F1 future.

With Williams signing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz following his Ferrari departure to partner168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Alex Albon before handing Colapinto his debut, there is no r༺oom at the Grove-based squad for the foreseeable future.

Williams team principal James Vowles expla💙ined that Alpine provide Colapinto witꦺh the “best opportunity” to return to a full-time race seat in the next two years, though he stressed it is not a “guarantee”.

“The decision was involves around, I believe Formula 1 drivers that deserve to be in the spor🅰t, and he does, should be driving a Formula 1 car,” Vowles told Sky Sports at the Autosport Awards.

“Not sat as a reserve driver for us, necessarily. We have two great drivers for the next two years. I have no place for himꦚ and his best opportunity is with Alpine.
