Colapinto's manager has angry message to fans: 'Shut up'
F1 News
Franco Colapinto's future still remains undecided. The Argentinian received many praise after his debut Grands Prix in Formula One, but it is yet to be known what he will do in 2025. One of Colapinto's agents, Jamie Campbell-Walter, took to social media to respond to criticism.
Colapinto joined Williams after the Dutch Grand Prix to replace Logan Sargeant. By that time, the Groves-based team already had Alexander Albon under contract and also signed Carlos Sainz for 2025.
However, after his debut, Colapinto has caught the eye of many in the paddock and of the pundits and analysts as well, and also has a huge following in his home country. The Argentinian is also rumoured to be in contention to have a seat in the competition next season thanks to the Red Bull family.
On X, one of his agents, Jamie Campbell-Walter has now responded to critcism about not yet finding a seat for his client for next season. "Listen carefully because I will only say this once. Stop with your opinions, stop with your insults and stop telling us how we should do our job. I will deal with it and I don’t need anymore comments," he began.
"I was here long before any of you supporting Franco and will be here long after. Everyone makes mistakes and he will learn from them. Let’s focus on Vegas and racing, but to do that, I need you all to shut up."
