“I’d be a bad team boss!” Christian Horner open to signing F1′ newest rising star Franco Colapinto

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has conveyed his interest in Williams Racing driver Franco Colapinto. The young Argentine made his debut at the Italian Grand Prix earlier this year and has been nothing short of convincing so far.

Franco Colapinto was chosen as the driver for the Grove-based team following Logan Sargeant‘s sacking after the Dutch GP. The 21-year-old instantly made an impact, securing points for his team in only his second outing.

Christian Horner has claimed of the Milton Keynes-based team’s interest in signing Colapinto for the future. The 50-year-old boss says that it would be unfair on his part to ignore a talent as budding as the Argentine national.

I would be a bad team boss if I didnt find out whether he was available.

Colapinto remains without a seat for 2025 so far, despite his fabulous efforts on track. As the current campaign nears a close, the Argentinian driver will try his best to remain in the paddock for the coming years.

Christian Horner entails Red Bull’s biggest challenge ahead of Brazilian GP

Red Bull was thoroughly outclassed by the likes of Ferrari and McLaren at the Mexican Grand Prix last weekend. As a result of which, they stand third in the constructors’ championship. They now seek to bounce back at Interlagos, hoping to win for the first time in 10 races.

More so on the hard tyre, we just didn’t have the same pace. Max had no grip, we didn’t feel we could switch the tyres on. So that’s the biggest challenge in the next four days, to understand what caused that.

Horner feels his team had no grip at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez racing circuit last week. The 50-year-old then concluded that issues with grip remain the main question for the team heading into Brazil.

Several questions remain to be answered on Red Bull’s behalf so far this season. While they might have found answers to some, a plethora of issues still remain to be catered to. The last few races will therefore be a test of the team’s abilities for the betterment of RB20’s performance.
