Sauber's solution to their F1 2025 driver dilemma is glaringly obvious, writes Lewis Larkam.
Aside from Red Bull’s sister squad RB, Sauber are the only team who have a vacant seat left to fill for next season to partner new signingappeared well-positioned to retain his F1 seat for next year but the ongoing wait leaves some question marks as new Audi chief Mattia Binotto continues to weigh up his options., though the current Mercedes reserve driver is not thought to be a serious contender.
He outpaced and outraced Albon in last weekend’s United States Grand Prix sprint and beat his teammate again in Sunday’s grand prix, having bounced back from a disappointing qualifying to battle his way from 17th and up to 10th.Despite his latest eye-catching display, Colapinto insisted he “has a lot still to learn and a lot to improve”. Having witnessed his rapid ascension to F1 first-hand, Williams team principal James Vowles is convinced Colapinto has done enough to earn a full-time seat.
“From my perspective, he absolutely has earned his place on the grid within a few races,” Vowles said before the United States Grand Prix at an Autosport Business panel event in Austin. Colapinto has demonstrated he can compete at the highest level under pressure, calmly recover from set-backs and deliver points. He would be a great option for Sauber to place alongside the highly-experienced Hulkenberg. What’s more, Williams are open to the idea and would not stand in their young star’s way.
