MODERATORS
This seems super risky btw. Colapinto's first few races after Monza will be Baku and Singapore. Not exactly tracks where you want a rookie to start his F1 career. Lawson was super impressive there, but is that reproducible?
And Colapinto's junior career isn't really more impressive than Logan's..
(Also, different issue: argentinian fans coming newly into F1 could be ugly given what we have seen in recent years.)
I am missing context on this, or the coffee I just had probably hasn't kicked in yet. Care to explain?
Colapinto is Argentinian. Argentinian sports fans have a certain reputation for bad sportsmanship. Seriously, you can google it and will instantly get articles and info on it. There have been scandals even with sportsmen themselves being racist. With argentinian drivers currently having a resurgence in motorsports, it seems that soccer fans are starting to watch motorsports and bring their bad behaviour here. In Indycar, Agustin Canapino's "fans" have sent death threats to Theo Pourchaire โ which Canapino denied in a weird public statement that led to him losing his seat. The year before his fans had attacked Calum Illot.
Holy! Thank you so much for explaining, didn't know anything about this.
