Does Franco Colapinto have an unfair reputation in Formula 1?

Colapinto has the longest streak of races without a DNF on the 2026 grid

I think the seat being lost is only happening if Colapinto starts performing as he was in 2025. But I think that confidence in the cars has been restored for him. He looks on pace most of the time, so I believe he can keep the seat with no issues.

He seems more comfortable in the car. Sometimes a switch flicks and you fly. Too soon to say he definitely has, but early signs look good

I think it's still too soon to turn the verdict on him around. He's had two strong races, let's not try to change the narrative surrounding Colapinto.

For sure! He’s had to deal with a lot of pressure since joining the grid! He’s shown this year that he definitely belongs in F1.
