Franco Colapinto's manager says it "didn't work out" with Red Bull, who were interested in signing him as Max Verstappen's F1 2025 team-mate.

Red Bull driver transfer talks have been unearthed in a stunning revelation about Sergio Perez 's axing from the team. The Mexican driver was dropped from Red Bull at the end of 2024, after a dismal season where he finished a startling 285 points behind his team-mate Max Verstappen in the drivers' standings.

Franco Colapinto has recently signed with Alpine, where he hopes to return to F1 as a full-time driver at some point of the season. Still, it could have turned out differently, as Red Bull were also interested in the Argentinian driver.
