Former F1 driver and 1999 title contender Heinz-Herald Frentzen recently complimented Williams driver Franco Colapinto's performance at the 2024 F1 Azerbaijan GP. However, he feared Lewis Hamilton's fanbase would criticize him again since the Argentine driver finished ahead of the seven-time world champion.
Frentzen gave his thoughts on the Azerbaijan GP on his official X account. Williams recently replaced Logan Sargeant with Colapinto. The race in Baku was the Argentine's second-ever F1 Grand Prix, in which he successfully scored four points, placing himself ahead of Sargeant in the 2024 F1 drivers' standings.
Hamilton was chasing Colapinto in the latter stages of the race. The Mercedes star was in P12 and chased Colapinto in P11. Before the chequered flag, the Argentine managed to overtake Nico Hulkenberg to secure P8 and score four points, while Hamilton secured P9.
