PALMER: After his first three races Franco Colapinto is looking right at home in F1, so is he the real deal?

I stated after Franco Colapinto’s spectacular debut in Monza that Baku and Singapore could be more durable challenges and higher checks for the rookie driver – and my phrase how he has excelled.

Baku is a quick road circuit with overtaking alternatives on a low downforce observe, whereas Singapore is arguably essentially the most gruelling observe on the calendar, because the drivers battle warmth and humidity on a extra bumpy and twisty road circuit. Via three very completely different races now Colapinto has proven his System 1 efficiency in Monza was no flash within the pan.
