Colapinto emphasizes the importance of gaining seat time to improve his performance, highlighting the need to understand the car’s limits through driving.
The Argentinian driver also stresses the significance of respect towards fellow drivers following online abuse directed at his colleagues, urging fans to maintain a line of respect and positivity in their interactions with drivers and the sport as a whole.
