Yeah Lando Norris took the cross in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix standings, Franco Colapinto was, without a doubt, the bright side of the coin.
The Argentine driver faced the Baku test after leaving very good sensations in his Formula 1 debut at Monza. However, the circuit of the Azeri capital was the definitive test for the “rookie”, and he passed it with flying colors.
After passing Q1 with the eighth fastest time, it seemed that reaching Q3 would be practically impossible, but he managed to surprise everyone. achieve the sixth best timeeven surpassing Carlos Sainz, Oscar Piastri And Lewis Hamilton.
After passing the second lap, the Williams engineer told Colapinto on the radio that he was classified for Q3, to which the driver responded in the most Argentinian way possible.Come on, he’s his mother’s asshole! Come on, damn it!” Franco shouted.
Finally Franco Colapinto ended up with the ninth fastest time in Q3, just ahead of his team-mate Alex Albon, and will have a golden opportunity tomorrow to score his first points in Formula 1.
