Lewis Hamilton: Kolapinto acts incredibly. He did not have the opportunity to prepare for F-1

Hamilton praised the level of ColaPinto`s performances.
Pilot Mercedes noted that he was impressed with what the Argentine man managed to achieve in the races spent on Williams.
Franco Kolapinto replaced Logan Sargenta in Williams and stands for the team, starting with the Italian Grand Prix. In six races, he managed to score points twice, falling into the top 10.
For the one who was called behind the wheel at the last moment and immediately threw the events in the thick of the events, Kolapinto acts simply incredibly. After all, most of us-if the racer is generally lucky to get into Formula 1-gets the opportunity to prepare a little for this.
Look, for example, at the young Kimi [Andrea Kimi Antonelli] - by the time of his first race, he will have a huge number of tests on his account. As far as I understand, in total, he will spend 20 test days while driving a car - and this is, in fact, an unprecedented amount.
as for Kolapinto, he had nothing of this. He simply jumped into the cockpit of the car and immediately began to speak at a fantastic level . . . It is always nice to see how young and talented guys get a chance to prove themselves and show off. Kolapinto did this in the first race. We had a great struggle, and at the same time safe, ”said Hamilton.
