Franco Colapinto Dismisses Messi Comparisons Ahead of Formula One Debut at Italian Grand Prix

Posted : 31 August 2024

Rookie Franco Colapinto downplayed comparisons to Lionel Messi as he prepares for his Formula One debut at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. The young Argentine driver will be the first from his country to compete in F1 in over two decades, stepping in for Logan Sargeant at Williams.

 

 While Colapinto’s appointment has thrilled fans back home, he dismissed the notion of being the Messi of F1, calling such comparisons "crazy" and emphasizing the vast difference between their statuses.

 

Colapinto expressed humility regarding his debut, acknowledging that he has not set high expectations for his performance with Williams, a team currently struggling in the F1 constructors' championship with just four points.

 

 He emphasized the importance of staying focused on his tasks and meeting the team's expectations, rather than aiming for immediate success. Colapinto expressed confidence in his ability to deliver what is required, preferring to take things "step by step" as he navigates his first race weekend.

 

The action at Monza begins on Friday, with Colapinto set to participate in the first two of the weekend's three practice sessions. As he takes on the iconic circuit, all eyes will be on the young driver to see how he handles the pressures of his Formula One debut.
