Franco Colapinto acknowledges that his preparations for the Italian Grand Prix have been limited, but he sees the opportunity Williams has given him to race in Formula 1 as incredible and one that he is eager to seize. Williams made the decision to replace Logan Sargeant with Colapinto after Sargeant’s crash during the Dutch Grand Prix, and Colapinto admits the call came unexpectedly late. Despite the late notice, Colapinto expresses gratitude for the opportunity and mentions that he has been dreaming of such a chance since he was a young child. He admits to not having much time to prepare specifically for this race weekend, but he feels that his work in the Williams simulator as part of the team’s young driver academy will help him adapt quickly. Colapinto emphasizes that, as a rookie both in Formula 2 and now in Formula 1, he aims to take things step by step and focus on his own performance rather than setting high expectations.
