F1 Puts Colapinto Fourth on Argentine Laps List After Singapore

An official F1 ranking now credits the 22-year-old with 1,088 laps, leaving him 211 shy of José Froilán González.

Overview

  • Formula 1’s Oct. 9 post lists Franco Colapinto at 1,088 laps across 20 Grands Prix, a total lifted by completing all 62 laps in Singapore where he finished 16th.
  • The updated tally moves him past Gastón Mazzacane’s 1,057 to enter the Argentine top four for laps completed.
  • Based on race distances, he could overtake González’s 1,296 within the next four events if he reaches the flag in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, and potentially Las Vegas.
  • Carlos Reutemann remains Argentina’s laps leader with 6,986, with Juan Manuel Fangio second on 3,022, framing Colapinto’s rise against earlier eras.
  • Whether he continues adding to the total next season is not yet settled, as Alpine has not confirmed its 2026 lineup despite specialist reports favoring his retention.
