Franco Colapinto became the first Argentine driver to score points in F1 since Carlos Reutemann at the 1982 Brazilian Grand Prix.
Franco Colapinto, in his second grand prix, surprised everyone by finishing eighth in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and keeping Lewis Hamilton behind him. He became the first Argentine since Carlos Reutemann in 1982 to score points for Williams. Colapinto had a challenging race initially due to tyre graining but a sudden change in the tyre behavior helped him gain grip and finish strong. His performance, along with Alex Albon’s, gave Williams their best two-car result since 2016. Colapinto’s impressive debut has moved Williams ahead of Alpine in the constructors’ standings. He is grateful for the opportunity given by team boss James Vowles and is determined to show his capabilities in F1.
