The young driver shared his excitement and pride for the performance of the Argentine team, highlighting the difficulties they have overcome. ‘I am extremely happy to be Argentine and proud of our team, which has reiterated why Argentina is one of the best football teams in history,’ he said.
It seems that the joy and emotions linked to football have significantly impacted his perspective, as he stated: ‘I will be much more nervous for the match than for the race.’
Colapinto currently sits in 13th place in the drivers’ championship, with a total of 18 points in his first season in Formula 1.
