The young Argentine driver, who has shown great potential in his first few races with the British team, has caught the attention of the top teams on the grid. His talent and charisma have made him one of the most promising drivers of his generation.

According to Dutch journalist Jack Plooij, Red Bull is willing to pay $20 million to Williams to secure Colapinto's services. This figure reflects the Austrian team's keen interest in the Argentine driver, who could fill the seat that Sergio Pérez would vacate at the end of the season.

With Pérez's possible departure, Red Bull would have a vacancy on its main team. Liam Lawson, the current AlphaTauri driver, would be promoted to the main team, leaving his seat in the sister team vacant. It is in this place where Colapinto could land, thus continuing his progression in Formula 1.

However, this operation is not without obstacles. Williams has the rights to Colapinto as a driver in their academy, so the negotiation will not be easy. Additionally, the Argentine still has one more year on his contract with the British team, although his seat will be occupied by Carlos Sainz starting next season.

Colapinto's arrival at Red Bull would be a big step forward in his career. The Argentine driver would have the opportunity to compete in one of the most competitive teams on the grid and learn from drivers of the caliber of Max Verstappen.
