The Argentine driver reviewed his career, highlighted the support of the people and spoke about his future.
The Argentine pilot Franco Colapinto reviewed his debut year in the Formula 2 and revealed that he is “very close to Formula 1” and could become the first national representative to reach the premier category of motorsport in more than two decades.
During an interview for Olé, Colapinto highlighted the support of the people: “It is something that gives you more peace of mind, it says that you are doing things very well and gives you security. Motivation and keep fighting for what you want. “It is a project in which in the end we are very close to Formula 1.”
This way, Colapinto could become the first Argentine to reach the premier class of world motorsport since Gastón Mazzacane in 2001.
“I see myself in Formula 1. I think that in Formula 2 there is a very high level of many drivers who are going to reach Formula 1 sooner or later, and obviously I see myself there. I feel privileged to be one of those 40 who We are between Formula 1 and 2,” the Argentine continued.
Colapinto also recalled his victory in Ímola and the importance it had: “This season we took a good step forward, and obviously having won there I think was a bit of a summary,” and added: “It was a very special weekend, just the week after Flaco Traverso died; Having won with his name was something very nice. “I also received the (Lionel) Messi shirt the same day, it’s like a lot of emotions came together.”

After that gift from Messi, Colapinto will try to send a helmet to the captain of the Argentine National Team: “We are going to send it to Biza (a mutual friend they have).”
Regarding the possibility of a plan B in case of not reaching the highest category, he was forceful: “I would like to race in Formula 1, then there are a lot of top-level categories in which I would also love to race. “But I want to get to Formula 1.”
Finally, he analyzed the Barcelona circuit, where he will race this weekend: “I really want to run there, I like it and I know it.”
