Franco Colapinto Reaches No. 4 All‑Time for Argentine Laps in F1

The 22-year-old has completed 1,088 laps since his 2024 debut, putting him within reach of José Froilán González’s total as the calendar turns to Austin.

Overview

  • Formula 1’s official ranking lists Colapinto fourth among Argentine drivers by laps completed, with 1,088 across about 20 Grands Prix.
  • He is 211 laps shy of José Froilán González’s 1,296 and could surpass that mark within roughly four full race distances, based on current circuits.
  • Colapinto finished 16th in Singapore in his most recent start, where the 62-lap race helped push him past Gastón Mazzacane’s total.
  • Alpine’s 2025 struggles persist, with the team last in the constructors’ standings on 20 points and Colapinto yet to score for the season.
  • The next event is the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas on October 19, as the paddock also weighs 2026 rules and engine changes that observers, including Max Verstappen, say could elevate Mercedes.
