After getting out of his number 12 car, Colapinto celebrated his good performance but regretted how close he was to being at the front of the starting grid.
“I was there to take pole, not to fight for it, so… very hot. In the last sector the rear tires were very overheated. I went out trying to warm up a little slower, because the first run had reached the last part and had a lot of oversteer, I had very little grip at the back. And nothing, on the last lap I made a good turn 10, the tires were much better, I skidded a little out of turn 10 and when I turned into turn 12 I didn’t have tires at the back, I didn’t have any grip and I lost a lot of time. Maybe in the last corner I had a big snap coming out there at the entrance and I lost another tenth,” he said in dialogue with ESPN.
And then he blurted out, more visceral, and bringing out the self-confidence typical of his youth: “He can’t be, for 6 thousandths, stupid, his mother’s pussy. I don’t know how much it is… it’s passing the change a little later. So like when you lose pole because of that it’s… nothing. I’m happy, but I’m really horny and I think I’ll be happy in a while, but now I’m angry. Angry with me, because the truth is that I should have taken pole.”
Colapinto turned 21 last month and in addition to fighting in Formula 2, he is a member of the Williams Academy, which allows him to dream of fulfilling his ultimate dream in motorsports, reaching F1.
