As an Argentinian I thank you for making a video that so accurately captures what life is like for one of us when we decide to emigrate. The sacrifice is enormous but so are the rewards. Thanks and VAMOS FRANCO CARAJO!!!
This kid is the truth. He 100% deserves a seat, hes got the same potential I see in Oscar. if he's in a top car he would be fighting for the championship.
@@hughwaddell5772 it is going to turn into Audi for 2026, also he doesnt have any option if he want to be on the grid for next year tho, the rest of the seats are ocupied, is that or wait as a reserve driver until 2026-27 for one in Williams or other team.
Franco is a great driver. At the age of 13 he went to Italy alone, without his family, and without knowing the language; He lived in a karting factory to pursue his dream... this boy's story is incredible.
I have been following his career since his F3 debut. I'm really happy for the kid, he showed talent since the beginning. His promotion to F1 was no surprise for me
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!
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.
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!
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.
@@NikolaRakicDjesPoslaMala in Argentina we value family much higher than on other places. Idk where you are from but for example i have been living alone for 5 years and everyweekend we get together as a family to eat, we as a community value family above all else in most cases and when you have to go so far away as a small child its going to take a toll on you for sure
You've brilliantly captured Franco's story. As a 25 y-o argentinian who has left his home country a couple years ago I feel so happy for him and the way this guy is making a mark in the sport is incredible. I have never watched a single F1 race, and now I'm becoming a fan of not just him but the new generation of amazing drivers like LeClerc, Norris and Piastri. I've watched LeClerc interview with JaySheety btw and he also feels like a very honest and genuine good guy. Great video man, keep it up!
Franco is broken the F1 with his ability, I hope he will win the race someday. (I’m studying English, sorry for the spelling mistakes) Love from Uruguay.
Great to see a talented Argentine on the grid! If you watch his Spanish interviews and press conferences youll love this guy even more. Vamos Franquito 🇦🇷
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 💫
Franco arriving here just at what feels like the last contract renewal of Checo, I hope he gets a full time seat so we latinos keep someone in the grid to cheer for!!!
You know what if you squint your eyes a little he actually looks like Senna.....he is certainly showing exceptional talent and what I love about him he speaks like a real champion. Good luck to him and let's hope Williams can improve the car and give him the best possible chances over the last part of the season. I for one love the guy.
When the season is over i want to see a juicy update on this great video, not only onhis preformance bot also how he reignited the sleeping monster, f1 fans in Argentina and the whole Williams team. great work
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...
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.
Besides what the future has for Franco, I feel in front of something new for this era..I mean, his name, FRANCO, means sincere, honest in spanish. I hope young people began to see more idols like Franco in other sports, music, films, but not to be a World Champion but to be a HONEST PERSON, something the World desperately needs.
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.
Italian culture is so foreign for an Argentinian 2:25. I am confident he never saw pizza before coming to Italy and he had a heart attack the moment he tried cappuccino...
A causa dell'immensa immigrazione italiana, l'Argentina è gastronomicamente molto italiana. Anche per questo molte parole italiane fanno parte del modo di parlare quotidiano degli argentini.

Performing in a car that is not front running and not in spotlight is hugely different than the performing in a car that is front running and constantly in spotlight while performing against your tough teammates like Max
I doubt he'll be on the grid next season due to coming up so late in the championship that most seats are filled but he'll definitely find a seat for 2025.
@@tiagodumont4422are you mentally challenged? it's impossible that a rational human being would say something like that. This video shows everything why your comment is incorrect. YOU WATCHED it yet still make that comment. way to show stupidity
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
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.
@@igbc176 Im actually Italian and I hung out with Argentinian, Mexican and Spanish friends. While Spanish isn’t quite easy to understand, Argentinian is scary close to Italian, both in words and tone! Sometimes if I’m not paying attention it just feels like some Italian dialect I don’t get a word of two.
Congratulations Franco! Keep going. His journey reminds Me Checo's: as a latinamerican He went to live in Germany at 14, all by himself and He slept above a restaurant, to pursue his dream. If They are not European, It's a long way to get to F1.
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.
NICE! NICE!, thank you! thank you! As an Argentine living abroad this is inspiring! PLEASE EXTEND IT with what happened yesterday (including a fast lap nearly in the end of the race!! PLEASE KEEP IT UP UPDATING! Totally liked and Subscribed!
I recently got into F1 around his 3rd race and I instantly fell in love with him. I may not know a whole lot about the sport but from what Iv've seen and heard so far, I'd say hes doing pretty good
i had something in my eye... :') beautiful video mate! Here in argentina this kind of situations rarely happens and costs a LOT. Let's enjoy the present of Franco
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.
As an Argentinian, I sadly have to accept that these are maybe his only races in F1, we have to enjoy each one of these. F1 is for the 1st world rich pilots MOSTLY, and us southamericans have much less chances. It was always like this.
Argentina gave talented and passionate people to sports. Not only he is a outstanding driver, his also a star. Argentinian stars are the best out there. Greetings from Argentina.
He's bloody good and everything he's achieved so far is beyond remarkable, but this only forwards F1's biggest issue that is not having new talents and new teams join the grid, there are drivers in F1 that had years to prove themselves and are still either underperforming or average at best while you have F2 drivers performing tremendously well.
I'm sure that endurance racing stint 100% helped him a lot, because he would've learned tire management and also the new f1 cars being heavy would've also played into his hands imo
Thank you for such a lovely mini documentary about Franco. He will gain experience and will be one of the greatest or the greatest of all in the near future. Vamoooo neneeeee!!
The people of Argentina never cease to amaze me with their boundless ability to surprise the world. Greetings from Mar del Plata, Argentina.

Excelente informe de Franquito 💪💪💪🏁🏁🏁
Thank you!!
He's bloody good and everything he's achieved so far is beyond remarkable, but this only forwards F1's biggest issue that is not having new talents and new teams join the grid, there are drivers in F1 that had years to prove themselves and are still either underperforming or average at best while you have F2 drivers performing tremendously well.
Argentinian are the best breef of human in the world. Greetings from Salta.
Vamo Franquito!!
🔵🔵⬜🌞⬜🔵🔵
The Messi of the F1
I'm sure that endurance racing stint 100% helped him a lot, because he would've learned tire management and also the new f1 cars being heavy would've also played into his hands imo
Definitely!
Emotional video! Vamos Franco!

Lots of Argentinian people trace their roots to Italy. Franco is of Italian descent.

Greetings from Argentina
I hope Colapinto stand out. F1 is full of talented drivers. He deserves the best after what he's sacrificed for his dream
Argentines have the potential to dominate in almost every sport...
As usual we argentinians have to go abroad to make true the dreams that in Argentina we can't for now
