Although the season has not started in the formula 1 grid, the name of Franco Colapint He does not stop resonating in the highest category of motor racing in the expectation of winning a place between 20 places after showing great performances in 2024. The Argentine referred to rumors, speculations and their expectations for this year.
During an interview on the YouTube Channel Nude Project, he first referred to the versions that they said he would arrive at Racing Bulls before the departure of Liam Lawson from Red Bull to occupy the place of Yuki Tsunoda, who went to the main team. However, he denied that these negotiations have existed and launched: “I am Alpine pilot and I have a contract with their team. I hope an opportunity in that team, they made a very big effort to have me. If the other bullshit fell asleep, now it’s late. ”
On the other hand, he referred to his arrival at Formula 1 and stressed that he could adapt to the paddock and the media pressure: “I am what I am and, luckily, I always say what I feel. It is a bit what does not happen today. They have a little book and their half -drawing, which tells them what they have to say and nobody says what he feels. Last year, I was with Verstappen the only two bullshit that said what really happened and The others kept everything because they don’t want to look bad”, He explained.
Anyway, he acknowledged that “Hate is always” although he dismissed the criticism against him: “There are those who are in bed with the phone writing boludes and that they take five minutes of the day to write bad things. ”
The parallelism between Lionel Messi and Franco Colapinto
In that sense, he made a parallel with the situation of Lionel Messi And he pointed out: “The Argentine is very intense. It’s very, Very fanatic and loves sport a lot. It is very result. If at any time you do not have the performance you expect, you go from there (up) to the floor. That is complicated to handle for athletes. I think Messi will have worked a lot. Surely it was an issue that will have done a lot of damage. The chabon He was giving everything for his country and was having a bad time. It hurt what was happening and how his fans treated him. Imagine that he was playing for his country and people seemed not to love him, ”he analyzed.
On this point, he added: “He is the best player in the world. We all have ups and downs. Also the pressure generated that moment, you are playing in front of millions of people and for 45 million Argentines. They are supporting you and you are a bit of what depends that the team wins the World Cup. And, when that doesn’t happen, you have a lot of responsibility on the shoulders. ”
In another passage from the interview, the 21 -year -old pilot told the difficulties he was going through to get where he is today and stressed that he had little filming before debuting in the maximum with Williams. “He had done 400 kilometers in some test and Silverstone. Nothing more. He had turned very little in F1. And The boys who go up today do 15 thousand kilometers. Antonelli, who is in Mercedes, made 15 thousand before his first race. I never had the possibility of testing because I had no budget. I arrived just to pay the year“, argument.
In that line, he added: “We are at the other side of the world. You have to leave your family and a lot of things. That is the difficult thing for an Argentine pilot. First is the budget part, because it is a very expensive sport; Then the emotional part. A European kid ends the race and Sunday night is eating at home with the parents. I had a bad weekend I was alone in my house and I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I did not cook me. The life of an Argentine pilot is much harder. ”
Finally, he pointed again against the series Drive To Survive, produced by Netflixthe documentary that follows the minute by minute of Formula 1 throughout the season. “All races followed me. All. With the microphone above and the camera behind it followed you everywhere. Sometimes I grabbed me at a time when I was saying things that could not listen to me. I see the Netflix series: I did not leave five seconds”, Franco demanded with a laugh.
