Formula 1 driver Franco Colapinto has spoken for the first time about the virality of his encounter with Eugenia 'La China' Suárez in Madrid last November. Colapinto shared his thoughts during an interview on the Telenoche program.
Colapinto mentioned that both he and La China Suárez faced harsh criticism due to their age difference and for not being completely focused on F1 racing. The driver highlighted the importance of learning from mistakes and expressed his frustration over the intrusion into his private life.
The young athlete commented that the sudden exposure and opinions about his personal relationships have been difficult to handle. Despite this, Colapinto said he was not affected by the negative comments and pointed out the complexity of rapidly growing in fame.
Journalist Dominique Metzger asked Colapinto how he felt about the criticism regarding his love life, to which the driver replied that it did not affect him. In this regard, he emphasized that it is easy to judge when one has not lived through a situation similar to his.
After the encounter with La China Suárez, the media and social networks echoed the situation, generating greater scrutiny on the private lives of the driver and the actress. The experience has led Colapinto to reflect on sudden fame and the impact of media exposure on his personal life.
