Red Bull Set to Sign Franco Colapinto as Yuki Tsunoda Faces Potential Exit
Red Bull is reportedly planning to sign rising Argentine racing star Franco Colapinto, with the expectation that he will join the Racing Bulls team in the near future. This move could mark a major shift in the team’s lineup, as current driver Yuki Tsunoda could be on the way out, potentially making room for Colapinto.
According to sources from Motorsport.com Espana, although Colapinto recently secured a position with Alpine as a reserve driver, Red Bull is now making a push to bring the young talent into their fold. The report suggests that Red Bull’s interest in Colapinto has intensified, and they are determined to bring him on board to race for the team in the future.
The potential move comes amid speculation that Tsunoda, currently racing for AlphaTauri (Red Bull’s sister team), could be replaced by Colapinto in a reshuffled lineup. It is believed that Tsunoda might make the jump to Red Bull, taking the place of Liam Lawson, a potential casualty in the reshuffling. This transition would see Tsunoda leaving AlphaTauri for a seat with Red Bull, creating an opportunity for Colapinto to step up and race for AlphaTauri instead.
Colapinto’s impressive rise through the ranks has caught the attention of top-tier Formula 1 teams, and his potential move to Red Bull could be a significant step in his career. Known for his strong performances in various racing series, the 19-year-old is seen as a promising talent with a bright future in motorsport.
As for Red Bull, this move would bolster their young driver roster and ensure they continue to nurture new talent for the future. With Colapinto’s potential now firmly on their radar, the team seems keen on locking him down, possibly as part of their long-term strategy.
For Tsunoda, the possibility of a move to Red Bull, if confirmed, would be a significant step forward in his career, though it remains to be seen whether the changes to the driver lineup will materialize as expected. As the situation develops, Red Bull’s driver lineup remains one of the key points of interest in the lead-up to the next racing season.
