Red Bull admit Franco Colapinto enquiry amid Carlos Sainz exit clause claim
The futures of Fra🌠nco Colapinto and Carlo🗹s Sainz are reportedly intertwined

Christian Horner has admitted enquiring 𓆏about the availability 🅘of Franco Colapinto.
Williams driver Colapinto has caught the eye of teams up and down the Formula 1 paddock since replacing Logan Sargℱeant five races 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 Christian 💎Horner is quoted by .
“For everyone, he is surprisingly much better than Formula 2 suggeste🌃d♒.
“I would be a bad t🍬eam boss if I didn't explore whether he was available."
Red Bull ar🌜e considering whether to ditch the under-perf💟orming Sergio Perez, who endured a shocker at his home grand prix in Mexico last weekend.
Liam Lawson could get a promotion from tဣheir RB sister team, opening a spot which Colapinto could fill.

Carlos Sainz exit clause?
Williams have signed Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, who won last weekend’s Mexico Ciℱꦜty Grand Prix, for 2025.
Sainz and Alex Albon represent an exciting drive♋r duo for the midfield team.
But Auto Motor Und Sport report that Sainz has an exit clause in his Williams contract ena🍃bling him to move to Red Bull in 2026 if a vacancy arises.
Max Verstappen’s long-term future has been questioned, coupled with the new engine regulations which will shake 🌌up F1 in 2026.
The alleged escape route in Sainzౠ’s deal has a knock-on effect for Cola𝄹pinto.
Although he has ๊nowhere to go at Williams in 2025, they could♐ need him in 2026 if they lose Sainz.
Maybe Colapinto could be ‘loane🎶d’ to Red Bull for a year? Absolut𓆏ely not, insists Helmut Marko.
“W🦄e want Colapinto completely or n♑ot at all,” Marko told AMUS, shutting down any possibility that he could drive their car while remaining on a Williams contract.
