Williams F1 team principal James Vowles has confirmed Red Bull𒉰 are interested in signing Franco Colapinto - but an official approach for the Argentine hasn’t been made.

Colapinto has impressed during his short time in F1 after replacing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant at the Italian Grand Prix.

He’s often been a close match for168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Alex Albon, scoring points on two occasions.

With Williams already securing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz as Albon’s tea🀅mmate for 2༺025, there’s no space at the team for Colapinto.

After Sauber opted for Gabriel Bortoleto alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg, Red Bull or VCARB remain Colapinto’s likeliest option𓆏s in terms of a full-time seat.

Red Bull have expressed interest in Colapinto - but a seat will only become 🥀available if they finally decide to ditch Sergio Perez and promote either Yuki Tsunoda orꦚ Liam Lawson.

Speaking to Sky Sports F1 after FP1 in Qatar, Vowles addressed speculation that Colapinto could join 🅺Red Bull’s second team in 2025.

“There is interest,” he replied. “I can say that already but there’s nothing more than interes༒t at this stage. As far as I can tell, this is me reading the media more than anything else.

“They [Red Bull] want to wait a littl♕e bit, see what happens towards the end of the seaso🔯n.”

Vowles is adamant Cola💯pinto has done 🔯enough to be in F1.

“The short answer is yes,” he added. “Without question, if yo𓄧u go back to Brazil there were incidents. You go back to Las Vegas and there were incidents. At that time he was faster than Gasly but he started the lap far too close to him and you know where Gasly ended up.

“He has the potential and pace in the car. That’s what you’re looking for out of a driver and he’s calm and collective under the immense amount of pressu🅷re that’s on him. So yes.”
