🇬🇧 This weekend we head to Great Britain

In F3 he won the Sprint Race here in 2023. In F2 he qualified fourth, finished fourth in the Feature Race with the fastest lap and also made his F1 debut with Williams in one of the free practice sessions. This weekend he's back, but this time as an Alpine race driver for his second British Grand Prix in Formula 1.

And he does it at the team's home.

The circuit

Silverstone is one of the most historic circuits on the calendar. Fast, technical and with a unique energy in the grandstands. Its main characteristics:

High-speed corners like Copse, Maggotts and Becketts that demand maximum confidence in the car

Very quick direction changes that put the aerodynamic balance to the test

The British weather can change at any moment

One of the biggest crowds of the year, with more than 150,000 people on Sunday

It's also the country where Alpine is based in Enstone, which makes this weekend something extra special for Franco and the whole team.
