It was a great race and Franco showed he was ready to be in the main team. He could be the backup driver for the team with Alex Albon guiding him in the next few months. The fans were impressed with the control and acceleration of Colapinto for the entire last lap. They felt the Argentine could evolve as a driver in the next few months for his team.
Franco Colapinto likely to make his F1 debut at Monza Circuit
Franco is likely to make his debut at the Monza Circuit at the Formula 1 level. For the rest of the year which features nine races, Franco is likely to be Williams' driver. While not many have any expectations from him, Colapinto could turn out to be a good asset for his team. Given the poor record of Logan Sargeant in the last 36 races, Williams had to take the tough call.
In May 2003, Franco was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The talented driver started karting at the young age of 9. He won the Argentine Championships in 2016 and 2018 respectively. Additionally, Franco was impressive by winning the gold medal in Karting in the 2018 Youth Summer Olympics. He would be hoping to make an impact at the highest level.
