168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Colapinto only has himself to blame for not securing a 2025 F1 seat, according to Jacques Villeneuve.

The 21-year-old Argentinian caught the eye of rival teams with some impressive early performances for Williams after he was drafted in as a replacement for the struggling168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Logan Sargeant with nine races to go.

Colapinto scored five points but🐻 a string of heavy crashes towards the end of the season took the shine off his early performances which resulted i♕n Red Bull considering signing him for their second team Racing Bulls.

He ultimately missed out on a full-time drive for 2025 but has signed as Alpine’s reserve driver after Williams agreed to release him with no for him in th🤡eir driver line-up.

But ex-Williams driver and 1997 world champion Villeneuve believe🐽s Colapinto ultimately damaged his ꦰchances of getting a seat on the grid.

“Franco Colapinto damaged his chances,” he told.

“If you are given the 💛golden chance, it’s for you to make the most oౠf it.

“🃏He can’t cry about it. He got a few races out of this in F1.

“Not꧑ many people get that so it’s already impressive that he got that chance.

“I’m not sure what will happen with his future.

“He’s still a quick driver.

“But what he showed is ꦓhe didn’t judge the situation really well.”

Colapinto may yet get a race seat in 2025 with his arrival at Alpine increasing the pressure on their rookie driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan, who was promoted to partner Pierre Gasly.

Villeneuve ‘surprised’ by amount of rookies

Si🐼x drivers will make their full-seasoꦺn debuts in F1 2025 - including four from last year’s F2 field.

Joining Doohan is 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson (Red Bull), 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oliver Bearman (Haas),168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Gabriel Bortoleto (Sauber) and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls).

Villeneuve admitted he is sꦚurprised to see so many inexperienced drivers promoted to F1 at the same time.

“No idea what to expect out🀅 of Bortoleto, no idea,” he added. “Formula 2 has never𝓡 been a good judge of drivers.

“So, it’s pointless until they g💎et into F1 but right n𝔉ow they get into F1 with so little experience.

“It’s very difficult to understand how you can get to that top level in the biggeဣst sport in the world so quickly at such a young age with so little experience. I find that quite surprising.

“They get a lot of simulator work, which allows them t꧙o be quick🐻 but then you also see what happened with Antonelli in Monza.”
