Franco Colapinto This is the present and future of Argentine motorsport. After a good season in Formula 2, the Pilar native is in Buenos Aires and this Monday he was part of the Gulf Tour Buenos Aires, an event where he toured the main tourist spots in the area, had a moment with the fans and Received he is also the press. In that contact declared that he is close to reaching F1.
In Silverstone He was part of the tests and came in 18th place from a total of twenty drivers, he was the second best rookie and the impression he left on the world of F1 was great because it is one of the most difficult circuits in the world. There he shared a track with stars like Max Verstappen (Red Bull), Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) and Lando Norris (McLaren).
He even admitted, in dialogue with Infobae, that He is excited about being a starter in Formula 1 in 2025: “Yes, there is a lot of talk and he is the second option after Sainz as discussed by my managers. But I completely understand why Carlos went, he is a good driver and has a lot of experience, he comes from Ferrari, he brings a lot of information from there and adds a lot to the team..
It also ensures that: “I’m ready to race in F1. What I was missing was that free practice test 1 and that’s where I confirmed it. “I’m doing really well in the simulator”.
He added on the subject: “As a child my dream was to drive an F1 and after achieving it now you want a little more”he added. He made it clear that his chances in an F1 car were not experienced as pressure but instead “I enjoyed what I was doing like a child, you never know when you will experience it again. I want to run as soon as possible. You have to be ready when that opportunity arises”.
As for Sainz’s two-year signing, he is hopeful. “We don’t know the number of years, there are many clauses in a contract, but we will see. But my goal is one more year of Formula 2, because in 2025 with the arrival of Carlos I will not go to Williams. We’ll see later” he explained.
Colapinto about his Formula 2 season
The Argentine was part of the MP Motorsport team last season where he is making sure he has a good year. “The balance is positive because I took a huge step after Imola with the victory. We did very well in Barcelona and we improved on other podiums. I scored points and drove well. In the last races there were issues that I couldn’t control and we have to work to make sure it doesn’t happen again.he admitted.
Referring to the errors he explained: “I made mistakes in the first three races of the year and they made mistakes later in the season. I spoke to the team and they are trying to understand what happened to the engine. There was also an aerodynamic issue. It is clear, there are many factors in F2 that sometimes affect it. I drove well in the last three races and didn’t score points and that made me a little bit weaker and we have to keep fighting. “Sometimes we can’t control everything around us.”.
