Franco Colapinto has hugely impressed since replacing Logan Sargeant at Williams ahead of the Italian Grand Prix. 

The Argentine driver is making the most of his opportunity for Williams, with points having been scored in last weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix. 

After performing well on his competitive debut in Monza, Colapinto went on to make Q3 in Baku, before finishing eighth in the race. 

He recovered well from a heavy crash in first practice and was able to match team-mate Alex Albon throughout. In fact, Colapinto out-qualified Albon in Baku, something Sargeant never managed.

Of course, Colapinto only has the Williams seat for the remainder of the season, when Carlos Sainz will complete his move from Ferrari.

A couple of seats do remain available, including, a spot alongside Nico Hulkenberg at Stake F1. 

Does Colapinto deserve a seat on next season's grid?
