Aníbal Colapinto, Franco's father, assured that Formula 1 leaders are also eager to see the young Argentine driver, who currently serves as a reserve at Alpine, compete this season.
"This kid came to change Formula 1, a journalist told me the other day, and even the Formula 1 owners themselves say it can't be that this kid isn't in Formula 1," he stated.
He also highlighted Franco's authenticity as one of his distinguishing traits: "It's because of what you say, because he's laid-back, he says what he feels, even if he's scolded he says it anyway. He is himself and will continue to be that way all his life," he said in a conversation with Clarín.
Finally, he expressed his pride in the path his son has taken from his adolescence to reaching the elite of motorsport: "I let him fly solo already at 14 years old. At that time I was very behind him, now he manages on his own, he's fine, he turned out to be a great kid, not only in sports but as a person. All my children, Franco, Martina, and Antonella. If there's something I can't complain about, it's the three children I have."
