Williams responded to a question whᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚ🧸ᩚether Franco Colapinto attracts sponsorship into the team by saying he “brings no money”.

Colapinto got the nod to replace the🃏 under-performing Lꦡogan Sargeant midseason, and will race for the first time in F1 at this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix.

The youngster from Argentina, who is part of Williams’ ꦗacademy, edged Mick Schumacher and Liam Lawson to get into the car.

Will🧸iams team principal James Vowles told Sky Sports about Colapinto: “He br✅ings no money with him.

“What has been exceptional is that the moment we informed he and his management of our decision, the phone hasn’t stopped ringing with Argentinian companies coming on boa🦄rd.

“What you’ll see appearing 🎶on the car is stickers. They are paying the right value, and ♉the right rate, for it.

“It’s not money because of Franco. They want exposure o🌠n the car and to be proud that we’re running an Argentinian driver.

“If you know him, y🦄ou know that ♌throughout his career he’s been on a shoestring budget, without any money.

“He hasn’t got anything to his name.”

Martin Brundle’s doubt about Colapinto

“Formula 1 isn’t a finishing school. It’s th✱✃e pinnacle,” Sky Sports’ Martin Brundle said.

“If you don𒊎’t deliver, someone else will come in and deliver.

“That’s how it opera🐬tes. That’s how you get your chance - because someone else was kick♐ed out.

“If you see a medley 🧸of the accidents that Logan🅷 has had, he’s done a lot of damage. I am not surprised they had to make a change.

“Nothing in Colapinto’s career shouts ou🗹t ‘something special’. But I have learned not to ju༒dge someone on their way in.

“Nyck de Vries, two𝔉 years ⛦ago, was sensational jumping into a Williams.”

Karun Chandhok said: “Apart from the Red Bull teams who chop and change a lot, you have to go back 15 years for a driver to be replaced by a rookie due to performa🎃nce.

“It’s not something that happens often in F1.

“Clearly Wi🃏lliams th🥂ought they couldn’t stick with Sargeant.”
