Franco Colapinto, George Russell to sit out FP1 at F1 Mexico GP

Gabriele Mini is set to make his Formula 1 race weekend debut, driving Franco Colapinto’s Alpine in Free Practice 1 at the Mexico Grand Prix.

The erstwhile Formula 2 championship leader, now lying fourth in the standings with a very slim title chance assuming the final two rounds proceed as planned, has been an Alpine protege since the start of the 2023 season following his runner-up campaign in the Formula Regional European Championship.
