The 22-year-old Argentina has yet to score points in his seven starts so far.<\/span><span class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-1q1hspp\">    (Photo above and Cora Pinto)<\/span><span class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-xn9in4\">    Now he&#8217;s questioning whether he needs to develop more time before he can win another race seat.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-8yrj4i\"><span class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-xn9in4\">&#8220;I think I&#8217;ve already seen everything,&#8221; Briatore said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think I need to see anything anymore.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-8yrj4i\"><span class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-xn9in4\">&#8220;It&#8217;s very difficult for these drivers to deal with this car. These cars are very, very, very, very, very, very fast. It may not be when a younger driver has Franco on the Franco 1.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-8yrj4i\"><span class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-xn9in4\">&#8220;I&#8217;m not happy. What matters is the outcome. He&#8217;s working very hard. We&#8217;re working hard with our engineers to please everything, but in reality we don&#8217;t expect anything from Corapinto.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-8yrj4i\"><span class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-xn9in4\">Despite these comments, Briatore suggested that he could be responsible for how he handled the rookie, as he pushed Alpine&#8217;s second seat plan alongside Pierre Guthrie in 2026 until the rest of this season.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-8yrj4i\"><span class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-xn9in4\">&#8220;There aren&#8217;t many changes (made by Alpine),&#8221; he said. &#8220;We changed Doohan with Corapinto, and perhaps there was too much pressure on him to be in Formula 1. Last year he did very well (Williams) and did two or three races.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-8yrj4i\"><span class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-xn9in4\">&#8220;I think we need to consider that. Drivers are human and we need to understand exactly what is going on in these kids&#8217; heads, because these are young children, so I think it&#8217;s a mistake to underestimate the human part of the driver.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-8yrj4i\"><span class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-xn9in4\">&#8220;We&#8217;re always looking at timing. Maybe I&#8217;ve missed something to manage my driver&#8217;s Cora Pinto. For the future, honestly, I don&#8217;t know.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alpine Team Principal Flavio Briatore puts pressure on Franco Colapinto by acknowledging the performance of the Alpine Driver, and the results are not what he expected.
