Stunning suggestion that Red Bull should snap up unexpected F1 overachiever
Iౠntriguing claim that Helmut Marko "won’t want🍌 to miss out"

Red Bull have be🎉en told to sign up Williams’ impressive Franco Colapinto.
Colapinto was thrown in at the deep end of Formula 1 as a mid-seas🥂on replacement for the under-performing Logan Sargeant.
He has impress💯ed for Williams in the past three grands prix but knows he won’t get a full-time race seat in 2025 because Alex Albon and Carloꦰs Sainz have already been confirmed.
Ins💟tead, Re𝕴d Bull have been told to monitor the talent from Argentina.
“Everything he’s done since he joined in Mo🐷nza has been i🌠mpressive,” F1 Nation podcast host Tom Clarkson said.
“He had a liꦦt♏tle crash and bounced back, no chance of his head dropping.
“[In Singap🔴ore], such a hard race mentally and physically. He finished just outside the points but was close to Albon in qualifying.
“I can’t praise the guy enough!”
Reporter Lawrence Barretto replied: “That quali🐼fying performance is what we will talk about for a long time.
“Albon, highly rated, rebuilt his career at Will✤iams,👍 considered to give Carlos Sainz a run for his money when they are teammates next year.
“This kid comes in, on circuits that he doesn’t know, scored on the first circuit, the second time he got within thousandths of highly rated driverꦰs.
“He is putting his stall out. He wants to prove that he’s deserv❀ed this chance in Formula 1📖.
“Everyone is talking about Colapinto.”
Sam Power from Australia’s Channel 💞10 added: “He has given a lot of team principals a headache to think ‘how can we make us💦e of this talent?’
“Look at Red Bull…”
Clarkson wondered: “If Sainz was still umming and aahing and hadn’t made up his decision… with these three races under Franco’s belt, he br🌟ings money, Sainz costs money…
“Would James Vowles say ‘my driver linꦯe-up for 2025 is Alex Albon and Franco Colapinto, sorry Carlos Sainz you have taken too long, go and drive the Audi!’”
Power suggested: “Would Franco be a good fit for Red Bull? If Christian Horner is saying he’d consider George Russell, w⛄hy would✤n’t he look at Franco?
“He’s a driver who has done an unbelievable job in deputising, like L🤪iam Lawson did.
“He ope꧟ns up a new market and demographic in 🀅Argentina which Formula 1 hasn’t had for a long time.
“In which case, if you want to look at what to do in the futജure, he’s a strong candidate.”
Barretto replied: “Helmut Marko is not afraid of making the tough decisions and he won’t wa💧nt to miss out🧜 on a talent like Colapinto.”
