Franco Colapinto looks ahead to the Silverstone challenge

It is not every day you hear a driver speak so honestly about the sheer joy of a circuit, but Alpine driver Franco Colapinto is clearly buzzing for the British Grand Prix. To him, Silverstone is quite simply one of the best races of the year.

He points directly to those legendary high-speed corners as the reason the driving there is so genuinely exciting. For a racer, there is no better feeling than being told you can push the machine to the maximum, and that is exactly what he expects to do.
