he looks like young rdj here and I'm drooling
— Franco pls?
— BUT WE'VE JUST GOT HIM
i think a few people need a refresher on franco colapinto so let’s get this straight:
a year ago he was starting his first f2 season
he has less f2 experience than all the rookies in the grid, and he still managed to bring points to a team that (at the time of him joining) had only scored 4 points
he scored points in his second race
last season he brought 5 points to williams in nine races (and at circuits he had never raced before)
he had three days to properly prepare for his f1 debut
i see a lot of people talking about how “franco is just good pr he’s not a good driver” and that just. baffles me. because sure, franco has sponsors now. but people forget that he doesn’t come from money, that his later career was largely supported by williams, that he initially couldn’t afford to move up to f2—that the only reason he eventually could pay the costs of f2 was because argentina started backing him as a country.
so yeah. put some respect on his name.
