Journalist Joe Saward believes that the signing of a new contract between Franco Colapinto and the Alpine team could be seen as another step toward the possible return of the Argentina Grand Prix to the Formula 1 calendar.

The news that Colapinto will remain with Alpine has strengthened talks about the possible return of the Argentina Grand Prix to the Formula 1 calendar in 2028. The country is known for its economic instability, but recently the situation has improved thanks to the policies of President Javier Milei.
The Argentine round of the Formula 1 World Championship took place intermittently from 1953 to 1998 in Buenos Aires. It became historic as the first race held outside Europe.
The most wins on Argentine soil were achieved by five-time world champion Juan Manuel Fangio (4). The last Argentina Grand Prix, held in 1998, was won by the legendary Michael Schumacher.
