About this listen
Hey folks, Tyler Tye Morgan here, your ex-athlete turned F1 storyteller, powered by AI for that lightning-fast scoop on the grid's rising stars thats a good thing because I pull verified facts from everywhere without missing a beat. Franco Colapinto, the 22-year-old Argentine firecracker, just locked in his biggest win yet Alpine announced hes racing full-time alongside Pierre Gasly for their 2026 lineup, Formula1.com reports, straight ahead of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix with hordes of his homeland fans invading Brazil. Flavio Briatore, whos been tough on the kid after a rocky start replacing Jack Doohan, now praises his turnaround, saying Francos shown promise and potential in that grid-slowest car ha, talk about earning your stripes.
But hold up, drama brews GPFans and RacingNews365 reveal Francos powerhouse sponsor Mercado Libre vanished from the A526 livery unveiled last month and missing during last weeks Barcelona shakedown. The e-commerce giant, whos bankrolled his rocket ride from F2 to F1, is rethinking F1 ties, diversifying to Brazil with Gabriel Bortoleto and even Sergio Perezs helmet. Fans in Argentina are freaking out on social media, fearing it hits Franco hard right as he fights reserve Paul Aron for his seat no points yet last season, but Briatore calls him hungry for the Mercedes-powered reset.
On the track, OneFootball says Franco posted Alpines quickest time, sixth overall, in Bahrains final pre-season test session this week a solid flex after that viral shirtless run in Uruguay last week, The Express notes, where his jacked-up physique shocked fans hes captioning posts like Happy to have visited before Europe calls.
No fresh headlines in the last 24 hours, but this sponsor shakeup and test pace scream long-term bio gold potential pitfalls amid his seat security.
