Jan 24 (Reuters) - Formula One will ‌see a new Franco Colapinto this season with the Argentine driver more mature and ready to ‌help lift Alpine up the grid, according to the Renault-owned team's executive advisor Flavio Briatore.

The 22-year-old ‌Colapinto replaced Australian Jack Doohan at Alpine last year but failed to score a point in 18 appearances as the team ditched upgrades and development to focus on the 2026 campaign.
