Formula 1 star Franco Colapinto celebrated his birthday yesterday, and among those who sent their best wishes was the Alpine team itself. The team's official Instagram page featured a special post to mark the occasion.
Alpine shared a pair of photos of Colapinto—one from his childhood, captioned as the beginning of his journey, and another recent shot showing where he is today. The post was accompanied by the phrase, “Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes”
To recap, Franco Colapinto turned 22 on May 27.
It's also worth noting that Colapinto was recently promoted to Alpine's main driver lineup and has already contested two races: the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix and the Monaco Grand Prix. So far, the Argentine driver has yet to score points. He finished the Monte Carlo race in 13th place, two laps behind the winner, Lando Norris.
The next round of Formula 1—the Spanish Grand Prix—will take place in Barcelona at the Circuit de Catalunya. Oscar Piastri of McLaren remains at the top of the F1 standings, with his teammate Lando Norris trailing just three points behind.
