Franco Colapinto, a changable bulb in Alpine, according to Martin Brundle

The Expileot and current F1 commentator talked about what could happen with the Argentine under the direction of Flavio Briatore.

Martin Brundle spent 12 years of his life as Formula 1 pilot from 1984 to 1996. English is Top Ten in a historic ranking in which no one wants to appear: it is the seventh corridor with the greatest number of presences (158) without having achieved victories. The 1 is Nico Hülkenberg, with 241. Within his campaign in the World Cup, the British played the 1992 championship in Benetton, as a partner of Michael Schumacher, and Under the direction of Flavio Briatore. By 1993, Brundle was fired by the Italian, who hired Ricardo Patrese.

After his definitive retirement from motor racing, the British became a F1 commentator, a position he maintains these days in the Sky chain. During the past GP of Hungary, Brundle spoke about Franco Colapinto in the Alpine team, who is under the aegis of BriTore, a man known to English.

“Colapint is still on the team, right? You hear different stories about their sponsors, his arrival and his non -arrival. He is certainly not doing a particularly good job. He looked spectacular at the beginning in Williams. After that, he suffered many accidents in Williams. So I do not predict anything good. I think 2026 definitely does not predict anything particularly good“Brundle said.

But it was deeper when talking about Briatore. “The problem with Flavio, as I know, is that, as a race pilot, in general, you are an disposable object. That was its modus operandi over the years, because this is a competitive business, not a improvement school, something that I have already said many times. If you do not meet, you are like a bulb. They will take you out and put another one.”
