Bortoleto if he gets a seat soon. Leading f2 as a rookie is crazy considering how competitive the f2 grid is.

[@Jout8-re1ij]

Nah Lawson is just a decent F1 driver. Thats why he couldnt keep his seat that long last season in F1. Piastri will maybe get the Championship. Not sure, but Antonelli will have talent to achieve it. Colapinto im not sure, but he could win many races for the argentinians in the future. Piastri might become like Coulthard winning a lot of races in his F1 career, but never just getting the Championship, because there were few better drivers in his generation, like Coulthard has in his generation with Häkkinen and Schumacher.

[@Alex.The.Lionnnnn]

Damn straight. At the moment Pastry is definitely the man to beat, but that can change quickly. Just picture 2026, all of these young fellas fighting, with (imagined in my head) really closely matched cars. Now that would a season to watch!

Definitely. I'm not exactly sure how, but he has a lot of similarities with Pastry. Both young blokes with a shit ton of talent, but humble, polite and have their feet on the ground. He's got his work cut out for him to reach Pastry's standard, but so far he's sure looking bloody good!

Italian culture is not that different from Argentinean culture. We inherited a lot from Italy, In fact, he took advantage of his Italian ancestry to get the citizenship and move there. The hardest part for him was to be far from his family at such a young age.

The truth is besides he’s really great he has a full country supporting him. In Argentina we are very passionate about this stuff, it’s an escape from our reality and one that really reignites and unites our country by putting politics, wealth and the everyday struggles in a pause. We live with such a passion that from a marketing place of view Franco is really helping F1, not because they need the help but the impact he is generating is much bigger than what we think. I don’t know how his future will be, I really wish the best for him. But now, living day by day, he’s able to draw a smile in our faces and that’s more than enough 💫

[@Grandprixredline]

Yup insane!!

[@ketenaike]

Just to remark, there happened some things that helped Franco's promotion to F2 at the end of 2023. There was kind of an important campaign from argentinian fans on twitter to promote Colapinto's talent, and his need for sponsors to get to F2. Because of this important publicity/popularity he got on social media, and also because of Bizarrap's help that led him to Globant (one of the most important argentinian companies) and other sponsors that helped him to get the money. If it wasn't for this, im not sure he would have ran in F2. The rest is history...

[@Grandprixredline]

I dont have words how i was surprised and shocked with his performance so far. And for some reason his looks reminds me of Senna.

[@Grandprixredline]

Aren’t we all!!

[@mrbetabombs2017]

I'm from Argentina and have been a fan of F1 for 8 years now, I followed a little bit of Franco this year in F2. When it got announced that he was gonna replace Logan I got so happy but of course I thought "well, first time, it's gonna take a while for him to adapt" and the very first race was already insane, the second race was even better, I am genuinely surprised by how much talent he's got, and by the fact that he acts with so much confidence, as if he'd been in F1 for 5 years. Of course I'm biased since I'm argentinian, but, trying to be objective, Franco has a massive amount of talent and a bright future in F1.

And to think, this video was made before the Austin GP where he put on a show. I'm 100% sure that Albon is feeling the pressure. Franco improves with every race while Albon performs worse and worse. Besides, let's remember that this is also a business. Franco has now a bigger image than Albon. Bigger image = bigger publicity = more money.

[@NajibSaer]

When Franco started, the questions was “can he get close to Albon” and now we’ve gone to “What’s wrong with Albon that he’s being matched and beaten by a rookie” 😂 Albon is a great benchmark. Franco is a special talent it seems. Every team on the paddock must be noticing. If he can’t get that Sauber seat for next year, I’m sure every team would want him as a reserve driver until he finds a full time ride

[@JF1J]

I think Franco's performance on FP1 at Silverstone gave a hint... even JV says that his performance "was not right" because it's not common for a rookie in his first official FP session, where he follows a plan, to be THAT close to a full time driver.

[@KungFuTze]

The most important thing is that he feels comfortable with the car enough to suggest modifications to fit him, and also has been safe with no major incidents. Him and Lawson might be the future. Also has a nice personality in both Spanish and English, comes from a really humble background and doesn't even own a car, FFS he even commutes on public bus to get to Williams HQ which has developed rapport and chemistry with the team. Probably makes him look closer to them than your avg golden spoon background that a vast majority of the racers come from.

YOU DON’T KNOW WHO YOU’RE DEALING WITH!!! Colapinto decided at the age of 14 to stay alone in Europe to compete because his parents ran out of money and couldn’t afford his expenses. He wanted to reach Formula 1. From a young age, he had that in mind, and you can see it in his interviews. Imagine staying alone at that age, far from your country, customs, and family, while other kids that age are playing video games. One day in Europe, he was riding his bike when suddenly the car in front of him stopped abruptly. Colapinto kept going and crashed into the car, breaking his face and nose. They called medical services because the bleeding wouldn’t stop. They took him to the hospital for first aid, and they told him he needed surgery. Franco said he DID NOT want surgery because he had to race that weekend. So, he raced with a broken face and nose. But it doesn’t end there. When they took him to the surgeon the following week, he told the doctor to fix his nose without surgery because he had to race the next weekend too. So, the surgeon put his nose back in place without surgery and without anesthesia. He preferred to endure the pain rather than stop racing.
